elements to reveal her theme in “A Pair of Tickets.”
Write a literary analysis that discusses how Amy Tan uses various literary elements to reveal her theme in “A Pair of Tickets.”
theme goes beyond the surface events of the story and “aims for a deeper and more comprehensive statement of its larger meaning” . For this, you should look into the other elements of the story – characterization, point of view, setting, plot, and style/tone (though you shouldn’t discuss all of them) – in order to discuss how Tan uses these elements to reveal the deeper meaning of her short story. Use specific evidence from the text for support (i.e. quote and cite).
Tip: Don’t get overly bogged down on whether or not you have the single correct theme. Remember, “great short stories, like great symphonies, frequently have more than one theme”.
Length: Your essay should use the five-paragraph format with an introduction, supporting body paragraphs, and a conclusion. It should be double spaced and written in a professional font (Time New Roman is always a safe bet). The goal is not to see how much you can write on the subject, but rather how effectively you can convey your ideas in the limited space that you have.
