Hills Like White Elephants

Compose an analysis between 4-6 pages of some aspect of one of the first four stories discussed in class. You must analyze a literary device such as, symbolism, metaphor, irony, foreshadowing, imagery or another technique and discuss how this contributes to the theme. Choose only one device and show how it operates in the short story. Posit a debatable thesis statement and support it with specific textual evidence and quotations from literary criticism. Avoid biographical and historical information. Research is mandatory. You MUST have information and quotes from scholarly sources that illuminate your points. You must document those quotes with parenthetical citations and a Works Cited, as described in the attached handout. Make sure secondary sources are scholarly and speak directly about primary sources. Make sure secondary sources are not simply reference information or rudimentary websites, such as SparkNotes, Cliff′s Notes, yahoo voices or any non-scholarly sites.
