ARGUMENT PROMPT Argument: (requires an introduction with an argumentative thesis statement): What is the “heart of darkness” that Conrad refers to in the novel? Is the argument more about the disastrous effects of colonization on the African continent, or more about the darkness and savagery that people are capable of when they are removed from society? Assert and defend a position. Use textual evidence to support your claims. Closed or open?  

Analysis Analysis: (requires an analytical thesis statement): Choose three devices used in the text. Analyze how these devices or symbols help to express a theme or major idea in the book. Use the rhetorical analysis structure we have learned. Some ideas for devices/ symbols: parallels, satire, irony, paradox, specific imagery, the framing of the story, etc.  What should an analytical thesis statement look like?

In the Awakening, Chopin uses elaborate description, water imagery, and powerful paradox to illustrate the impossibility of being a wife and a free, independent woman at the same time. What will first body paragraph be about?

Analysis Reminders… Don’t start with just a thesis. SIT or other options. I- identify E- evidence L- Link- explain how your device illustrates/ proves/ shows/ supports the theme or big idea. Review your list of ANALYSIS verbs. Remember, the device has to DO something.

# Analytical Thesis Review 12/11 From Serving in Florida: use the opening, or choose a section. Page 394 Write an analytical thesis statement Write one body paragraph
