ENG 356 Week 1 Topic 1 DQ 2
Apply the seven elements of fiction as outlined in chapter 5
of Reading and Writing
About Literature to Edgar Allen Poe’s review, “The Importance
of the Single Effect in a Prose Tale.” Determine whether or not Poe addressed
all seven elements or if not, what do you see as lacking in his review?
ENG 356 Week 1 Assignment Elements of Fiction
After carefully reading, “The Elements of Fiction” in The Story and Its Writer,
choose three of
the elements of fiction, such as character, setting, plot, point of view, or
style, and analyze in a 750-1,000-word essay howthese three elements of fiction contribute
to the overall theme (discussed in Appendix 2) in Washington Irving’s story,
“Rip Van Winkle.”
Additionally, assert your view of the story’s theme (or central
message), as well as how these
three elements successfully convey that theme to readers.

ENG 356 Week 2 Topic 2 DQ 1
Analyze Poe’s use of suspense in “The Cask of Amontillado” and
“Ligeia.” What narrative devices does Poe use, in both stories, to heighten the
suspense? What do these stories suggest about the human spirit and condition?
ENG 356 Week 2 Topic 2 DQ 2
An allegory is a narrative that has an extended dual meaning.
One meaning resides in the literal action and plot of the story and another
meaning, just as significant, resides in the ideas, values, or messages these
actions are intended to convey. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” is
interesting both on its surface level of action and plot on its deeper, more
symbolic level. Notice how the central characters of “Goodman” (a generic
Puritan term meaning “gentleman”) and “Faith” represent abstract qualities. How
does this story, with its emphasis on the dark undercurrent of evil in this seemingly
tranquil New England town, function as a moral allegory?
ENG 356 Week 2 Assignment Essay on Romanticism in Poe

ENG 356 Week 4 Topic 4 DQ 1
In literary criticism, the word “epiphany” refers to a moment in
which a character experiences a sudden, life-changing revelation about the true
nature of something (often this can be an aspect of his or her character).
These moments of insight are usually prompted by something seemingly trivial or
commonplace, but they result in a radical change of perception on the part of
the character. Consider either James Joyce’s “Araby” or “The Dead” and explain
how the central character in either of these stories experiences an epiphanic
moment. What does the protagonist learn about himself, about another person, or
about life, and how does this experience and gained insight change him?
ENG 356 Week 4 Topic 4 DQ 2
In Katherine Mansfield’s short story “Bliss,” does the character
Bertha truly have “everything” as she insists? Explain and then share at least
three significant details in the story that reveal aspects of Bertha’s
character and life to you
