Problem
An essay about A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner, The Lottery? by Shirley Jackson, and Young Goodman by Nathaniel Hawthrone. Make sure your essay must include a thesis, a work cited page, appropriate MLA guide when citing or paraphrasing. Choose a major theme that connects all three stories. What particular ideas or concepts do you observe in the stories? Next, identify the major symbols in our texts and then perform close readings of the texts to analyze the writers' portrayal of said symbol.
It is a good idea to choose texts that connect thematically or that help you advance and build on an observation you've made. Your discussion of the symbols will serve to help with your analysis of the texts. This means that to help you deconstruct and analyze your texts, symbolism is a means to discuss just any aspect of the texts, including plot, themes, and characterization. Also, remember that these stories are included in the subgenre of American Romanticism: the gothic or dark romance. What should I be horrified by?
