To write an original analysis of a piece of nonfiction that we have read and/or discussed so far in class. Writing an analysis of nonfiction commonly entails formulating and arguing a thesis that synthesizes a thematic aspect of the writing with a formal one. For instance, consider the way in which a particular literary device at work in your selected nonfiction contributes to conveying a theme or idea there. (Remember that a theme is not merely a topic; rather, a theme expresses an idea about a given topic.) The device and theme you discuss for a particular piece of fiction are yours to choose.

All take-home writing assignments must:

• use MLA style
• be typed in Times New Roman 12 font
• be double-spaced
• have one-inch margins
• be stapled
• indicate, in the upper left-hand corner, your name, the instructor’s name, course information, date, and assignment number.

Personal Statement:

I have chosen the lottery by Shirley Jackson as my piece of non fiction that we have discussed in class. I have attached it along with paper guide. Need 1000 words for original analysis for it.
