Hey, I've got some sort of dilemma..
What if you were to analyze a text based on the following specifications:
1. Identify the point of view and explain how it shapes the story/identify the narrative technique/discuss its effect on the reader;
2. Comment on the symbols used in the text;
3. Explain the symbolic meaning of the title;
4. Discuss the literary devices used to convey meaning: rhetorical devices, poetic devices, use of myth, symbols etc.
5. Identify the theme;
6. Identify and discuss the values of the main character;
7. Explain the use of irony.
I can understand almost all, except some parts from the 4th paragraph. I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to provide me some sort of references on how to properly understand all the above(just to be sure) or if you can provide a quick insight into each.
That's all. Thanks in advance!
