Writing a literary analysis helps us to more readily connect conflicts in literature to our everyday experiences and analyze our own lives as well as human motivations and behavior in general. Finally, it improves our writing and reading skills overall. 

How to Write the Draft
 By this point in the course, you will have discussed two texts from the literary work , defined at least one conflict and identified and described at least three literary techniques as specified in the Literary Analysis prompt. 

For this assignment, you will construct a working thesis statement that defines in detail the conflict you will analyze, the two texts you will address, and the literary devices you will apply to your final analysis. Review the Writing a Clear and Sound Thesis for a Literary Analysis for support. 

The body of your paper, which will consist of 1000 words, is to be presented in four sections as detailed below.
