Remember, a literary analysis is an essay that explores and explains a critical aspect of a piece of literature. The thesis should state a specific argument about the piece of literature and how that argument will be supported. It should be expressed in one to two sentences. Be sure to focus on an aspect of the author's craft, the theme of the text, or another key component of the literature as you construct your argument.
. Evaluate the narrator’s description in this passage . Do his emotions seem realistic? Explain your answer . Many students will feel that the narrator’s emotions are very realistic—that first love can cause feelings much like this. 2 . Recall that similes are figures of speech in which two things are compared using the words like or as . Identify the two similes in the last sentence . What do they reveal about the relationship between the boy and Mangan’s sister? The two similes in the last sentences are the comparison of the narrator’s body to a harp and the comparison of the girl’s words and gestures to fingers playing the harp strings.

write an autobiographical account of a particular childhood event . The account can be realistic or embellished
One particularly memorable childhood event that I experienced was the day I won the school spelling bee in fifth grade. As a shy and reserved child, I had always struggled to speak up in class, let alone compete in a spelling competition in front of my peers and teachers. However, with the encouragement of my parents and teachers, I decided to take a leap of faith and participate in the spelling bee.
Leading up to the competition, I spent hours meticulously studying the list of words provided by the teacher. I would practice my spelling with my parents every evening, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement building up inside me. On the day of the competition, I could feel my heart beating rapidly as I took my place on the stage alongside the other contestants.
As each round progressed, I faced increasingly challenging words, but to my surprise, I managed to spell them all correctly. The final round came down to me and one other student, and as the tension mounted, I was given the word "courageous." With a deep breath, I spelled out each letter confidently, earning a round of applause from the audience.
I will never forget the surge of pride and accomplishment I felt when I was announced as the winner of the spelling bee. It was a moment of triumph that boosted my self-confidence and showed me that I was capable of achieving great things when I put my mind to it. This childhood event taught me the importance of stepping out of my comfort zone and taking risks, as well as the power of perseverance and hard work.
