demonstrate an understanding of literary theme

Description

In this essay, you will need to demonstrate an understanding of literary theme.  To do this, you will need to cite evidence from the text effectively and offer good critical interpretations of passages you cite without summarizing too much of the story.  In other words, you’ll need to give enough details from the story to contextualize your quotes, but not so much that you restate what happens in the story.  The more specific your focus, the better. How do you see that theme being articulated? by a specific character? by the narrator?
