Short story Antlers by Rick Bass analysis
"Your essay is a 1000 word (about four pages) analysis of “Antlers” that
explores a unique point of view. You are arguing about a specific idea
that the reader may not have thought of and urging the reader to
understand and agree with you. You may focus on characters [compare and
contrast two], tone, or subject-matter [theme] The claim must be narrow
and specific, which you develop with evidence in the body of your essay .
(Choosing a wide or general theme is not a good idea, because it forces
you to state the obvious.) Your paper must have a clear thesis stated
early [review LW material and your textbook, if you need to refresh your
understanding of thesis], evidence and reasoning to support it
throughout the body of the essay, and analysis of the significance of
this reading to an understanding of the story. "
