At least three quotes must be included in the essay, and the quotes must be properly introduced and cited according to MLA guidelines.Your essay must have an introduction, a clearly stated thesis that makes a claim about the text, and three to five main points (3-5 supporting paragraphs) to support your argument. You must introduce the author’s name and the title of the work. Your essay must include evidence from the text in each paragraph (2-3 direct quotes from the text), and must include in-text citations formatted according to MLA guidelines. Your essay must also have a conclusion that revisits the thesis and the main points while providing closure. The essay must be written in present verb tense and third person point of view. A Works Cited page is required.Here are some questions you can use to prompt an analysisTheme- What is the theme—salvation, loss of religion, hypocrisy? How does the author treat the theme, and what observations or conclusions does Hughes make about it?Character’s transformation- At what point does the character’s transformation occur and what results? Does Hughes’ understanding of salvation change as a result of this experience at his church? You might explore the change in his perception of salvation, or the change in his resulting loss of faith in this type of Christian religion.The author’s tone and use of irony- What is the author’s tone, and how does it help the reader interpret his understanding of salvation? Does the author use irony, and how does irony add another layer of meaning and understanding to the storyFigurative language- How does the author use symbols or metaphors to create meaning or emphasize a certain point? How do these elements relate to the work as a whole and effect meaning?A few rules to follow:Authors and titles should be introduced in the first paragraph.The thesis statement must make a claim about the text that is not obvious and analyzes some aspect of the text.
