Covering allegory, characterization, narration, plot, & setting, students will work through examples taken from the Great Books and other important literature; they'll also get the chance to read real example essays by high school students. Each section is centered on a basic element of literary analysis; chapters include background information, a list of terms, a list of suggested literary works, and multiple excerpted selections from literature which highlight the section's focus.
