Purpose
What is a literary analysis essay? One way to make better sense of this assignment’s expectations is to examine the words literary and analysis individually. As students learned earlier in the chapter, literary nonfiction is a branch of writing that reports on actual events, places, or people, employing literary techniques and an artistic vision normally associated with fiction or poetry. When students analyze a piece of writing, examine its components to gain a deeper understanding of the whole. Therefore, in the essay, analyze the forms used in a particular piece of literary nonfiction to give the reader insight into the piece as a whole.
Instructions
First, identify the nonfiction form that is most important in the selection—for example, a sense of place. Next, explain why the author’s sense of place is important. One way to analyze the piece through the lens of sense of place is to imagine how the selection would be different without the form. Use the following information to help structure the essay.
Introduction
In the first paragraph, identify the essay’s title and author. The opening paragraph must provide a broad but accurate synopsis of the selected essay as well as a clearly defined thesis statement. The literary analysis essay thesis statement should identify the one or two nonfiction forms to discuss in the body paragraphs and how the form(s) affect(s) the piece.
When writing about literature, refer to actions and events in the present tense. For example, instead of writing The main character wanted to go to Bolivia, write The main character wants to go to Bolivia.
Body Paragraphs
If writing about one nonfiction form, each body paragraph should provide an in-depth analysis of closely related examples of that form. If choosing two nonfiction forms, present a balanced exploration of both forms (e.g., two paragraphs of approximately the same length for each form). As for supporting evidence, provide appropriate and sufficient direct quotations, paraphrases, and/or summaries, properly cited. Finally, when mentioning a secondary character or related plot point that is not mentioned in the opening paragraph synopsis, this character or plot point should be explained briefly.
Conclusion
The closing paragraph should restate the main ideas discussed in the essay, and remember a strong conclusion includes something that resonates with the reader.

For the final assignment, please see the prompt below.  Write a short 2-3 page response (DOUBLE SPACED) using a bit of textual evidence on Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman  .  ***By the way, most students don’t know that Arthur Miller was married to Marilyn Monroe!
Arthur Miller’s   Death of a Salesman (drama). The 2-part video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7lGIUzUKOE (part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvAts4osIQY (part 2) The text can be found here:   https://joycej.kenstonlocal.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/109/2015/01/Death-of-a-Salesman.pdf
ASSIGNMENT PROMPT: Death of a Salesman  (first performed in 1949) presents many significant and discernible themes and ideas.  For example, it explores the pursuit of the American Dream (everyone in the play seems to be pursuing it: Ben, Charlie, Bernard, Willy, Biff, and Happy).  It explores the idea of disillusionment, it examines the dangers and effects of believing in false values, it examines Willy’s desire for respect and reputation, it examines the importance Willy gives to appearances and pride, it explores Willy’s attitudes toward death and his desire for martyrdom, it
explores the indulgence of the illusion that Willy, himself, nurtures about the level of success he, Biff, and Happy have achieved, and it examines the idea of victim-hood vs agency (in other words, is Willy to blame for his lack of success or is society to blame?). In a carefully written 2-3page response DOUBLE SPACED,  discuss how the play explores one or more of the ideas presented above.
As you prepare a response, think carefully about how these conflicts are addressed by several of the major characters in the play.  This should be about a 2-3 page response DOUBLE SPACED. To help you with this paper, you might want to look carefully
at the scenes below. These questions and scenes will help you with your
response. 1. What is the significance of the scene with Willy and Howard (reference to Dave Singleman)? 2. Discuss the significance of the exchange between Willy and Bernard (the exchange they have in Charlie’s office). 3.  Willy and Biff (final exchange at the end of the play) 4.  Contrast Biff and Happy and discuss what each represents? 5. What is Willy’s dream? Why does Biff ask him to “burn it”? 6. What is the significance of Ben and Charlie and Bernard in the play? 7. Discuss the significance of the Requiem and what it adds to the play. 8. Discuss the significance of the flashbacks in the play

!! THIS ESSAY NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO PASS “TURNITIN” AND “KIPPER” AI AND PLAGERISM DETECTOR !!

In this assignment, you will apply your understanding of different types of brief, informational reports by choosing one of three scenarios and writing a report in memo format. This task will help you practice structuring and formatting informational reports, using clear language, and incorporating graphics to enhance understanding. This will be similar to the report you created last week – just with slightly different requirements and scenarios. FYI: You will be creating a memo report with graphics as part of your final exam, so use this as an opportunity to get additional practice for that important assessment later on this term.
Objectives
The primary objectives of this assignment are to:
Develop a well-structured memo report based on one of the given scenarios.
Utilize headings and formatting techniques to make the information accessible.
Incorporate at least one graphic to clarify the text and support your report.

Choose one of the following scenarios to write your memo report.
Scenarios
Scenario 1: Directive
Role: Manager of Koko’s Copies
Task: Implement a dress code due to client complaints about employees’ appearances. You are going to ask employees to cover their tattoos, remove any facial jewelry except earrings, and wear appropriate clothing. You have noticed that some of your employees’ clothing is too revealing, too casual, and too politically sensitive.

Scenario 2: Progress Report
Role: Crew Chief for a landscape architect project
Task: Report progress on landscaping a four-acre tract around a new Beach Bumz restaurant, noting delays due to rare snow. You are at the halfway point in your timeline, but you are behind in your deadlines because of rare snow delays at the beach. Your job is to plant trees, flower beds, and grass around the new business. The business also will have a porch running across the front and east side of the building and you are responsible for installing planters with different flowers in them all along the porch railings.

Specifications
✅ Meets Standard.
Your entry is complete, on-topic, and submitted according to the specifications and requirements of the prompt. 
Quotes & Evidence
✅ Meets Standard.
Your entry includes concrete, specific details from the text, and you introduce, attribute, and incorporate evidence well using MLA style. 
Formal Features & Context
✅ Meets Standard.
You have identified several relevant literary terms and devices present in the passage, and you generally do a good job connecting them with the meaning being conveyed. 
For the context step, however, it would be more helpful to actually look up the author or some of the cultural references you allude to later on and list those as concrete details here. This is more of a space for giving information than pointing out information you don’t currently have.
Close Reading & Thesis
🛠 Needs Work.
Your observations and analysis of the text are generally quite strong, but your argument still needs a little work.
In the last step of the process, you want to really draw on the observations and analysis you’ve made earlier and turn that into an argument. It’s okay to repeat yourself a little bit here, because the Argue step is essentially the payoff for all of the evidence gathering you’ve done in the steps that precede it.
To meet the standard here, you will want to expand your argument and your evidence supporting it substantially. Review the examples in the Close Reading Guide to see what I mean here, and you may want to have a look at How to Write a Literary Critical Thesis for tips on structuring your argument. 
Overall Feedback
This is very close, Liana! You’re observations are astute, you just need to work a bit more on shaping them into an argument. See the comments above for suggestions on how to do so, and resubmit by the end of the week if you would still like to earn credit.

Create a website using WordPress or Wix. If you have a background in coding, you are welcome to code your own website to practice your skills. If you choose to use WordPress or Wix, make the account with your Kean email. Keep the URL professional.
