Write a literary analysis on a selection of literature
You are to write a literary analysis on a selection(s) of literature from the textbook.
Whether you are dealing with fiction, poetry, or nonfiction literature, use the present tense (also called the literary present tense) to discuss the actions and thoughts presented in the text. Do this because literature exists as a present phenomenon regardless of whether or not its author is alive.
