Literary Analysis
This selection of literary analysis is a demonstration of highly analytical ability and critical thinking. It demonstrates my ability to analyze interrelationships, ambiguities, connections, ironies, and a synthesis of motifs, symbols, characterizations, and themes. Both documents show my ability to deliver esoteric information in intelligible and accessible language that is not too abstract for an ordinary reader to grasp.
