Writing Analysis

Read all of the following short stories then pick one to write a short (250-500 word) blog post:

A Jury of Her Peers by Susan Glaspell
How Much Land Does a Man Need? by Lev Tolstoy
The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula Le Guin

Describe the central moral issue or ethical dilemma of the work then briefly analyze authorial intent. In order to justify your conclusions, your analysis should include relevant information on the work's historical context, author's history, and choices in writing style and story structure. Consider addressing potential counter-arguments or other interpretations to strengthen your position.

You will peer-review three other student essays as part of this assignment. Be prepared to present your essay later in the week.
