-Commentary-
Commentary is a key element, if not the most important part of a literary analysis essay. It is described as "the heart of literary analysis" (59). Without commentary, the essay would only consist of quotes and facts as found in the assertion, anchor and proof. Instead, it proves how they answer a prompt. "Commentary builds on and extends the story's ideas" (60). By doing so, the commentary allows you to share your thoughts about the story with the reader, provoking thought and discussion on the topic.

Nice quotations! Most people forget to add the page number in parenthesis after the quote. The explanation was thorough, and the vocabulary was properly used.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Connor about the good use of quality quotation in your post. You also had a great closing sentence to your post.
