Pre-AP English II: IWA #1

Authors carefully select the literary devices they use in order to help support the theme of their work or to produce a specific effect in their readers' minds. Read any pair of stories from the summer assignment, and then in a well-developed essay discuss how the authors' choices of literary devices support their themes or serve to elicit a specific response from the reader.

You may also use one of the two stories we'll be working with this six-weeks, "By the Waters of Babylon" and "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," as a substitute for one of the stories in the summer assignment pairs. You'll need to decide which category the story belongs in; your analysis will support/defend your choice.

First-Draft Deadline: Sept 16.

Drop-dead Deadline: Sept 23.
