prompt: How widow Douglas symbolizes civilization! And how Huck symbolizes a person vs their conscious as well as between society and free-thinking

PLEASE READ:

Please keep in mind the following when writing:

• a plot summary is not a literary analysis
• a literary analysis is not a demonstration of a general understanding of a text, but
• rather, centers on a specific thesis in order to dig deeply into a very specific
• problem or insight concerning the text
• a literary analysis is not an informal discussion about a text (it is not the same as srcq or apcq, which are important for other reasons)
• any assertion in a literary analysis essay must have its grounding in the text, not in general observations about life or personal experience

Here are some useful options for writing an original and insightful essay:

• show how your thesis runs counter to the prevailing ideas about the text (“most
• people think x about this text, but y is true instead”) or
• show the relationship between the text and an outside source or
• show how a critical approach applies to the text

The writer of a strong literary analysis manipulates the reader’s memory of the text chosen for the purposes of building an argument (the thesis) to support or prove the answer to a specific question that is worth answering. The writer uses well conceived arguments and very specific, brief, and limited paraphrasing, as well as carefully chosen and limited direct citations to support assertions related to this argument or thesis.
