Topic: Composition, Literature and Critical Thinking

Order Description

Hi. Please follow the prompts and the given samples carefully and finish them on time. Thank you. Note, This assignment is divided into TWO parts.

(required sourse: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout)

Here is the pdf version of the book I found online

Part 1: Summary (minimum is 8 sentences per summary)
Prompts
Read and choose four (4) different stories from Olive Kitteridge to summarize. Separate each new 8-sentence summary (minimum) with a space or a line. I am looking for brief, precise, articulate summaries here to ensure that you’re reading widely enough in the story collection and “trying on” some of the stories as you seek one to base your essay on. Again, the minimum is 8 sentences per summary.
Your task here is to summarize the writing itself, not just the story plot – don’t just write a simple description of what happens (you can cover plot in one or two sentences). Instead, observe and describe the writing and the “piece as a whole”: introduce the author and title and publishing date of the story and the book it comes from; list important characters, settings and time frames present in the poem; identify major themes, symbols, and metaphors in the poem; describe the speaker(s) or voice(s) of the work and the point(s) of view from which the poem is told. Give us a full picture of what this work looks like on the page.
Use present tense to discuss the story, use only 3rd person speech (he, she, it, they, the reader, the writer, the story, [someone’s name], [a story name], etc.) to discuss it, not 1st or 2nd person (“I,” “me,” “you,” etc.).
A final version of one of these summaries may become part of the thesis paragraph in your essay at the culmination of this unit if you decide to analyze one of the same stories you summarize here (which would be a very smart strategy on your part and something I highly recommend). This assignment is meant to help you explore all the dimensions of some of these stories and give you practice articulating those in advance of your essay. If you are able to explain and summarize these stories here, you will be able to analyze them or others like them much more effectively in your essay.
