Extra Credit Assignment #2

Many literary terms describe how an author communicates his or her ideas.  There are terms that will help you express the methods such as characterizing, conflict, dialogue, imagery, point of view, symbol and tone.  The literary theory and schools of criticism will help you begin the process of understanding literary theory.  Writing about fiction will help with major topics relating  to writing about fiction.  It covers prewriting, close reading, thesis development, drafting and common pitfalls to avoid.  The writing about literature tab provides examples and description about writing papers in literature.  It discusses research topics, how to begin to search, how to use info, and formatting.  The writing in Literature tab discusses different approaches to literary theory/criticism that you may use to write about literature.  The writing about poetry section covers the basics of how to write about poetry.  The imagein poetry covers images as they appear in poetry and covers related terminology.  The poetry close reading tab will help perform a close reading of poetry and begin developing ideas for writitng papers.
I will use this entire on line writing lab when doing any of my writings.  I am going to go back and use the fiction tab because I need help writing my thesis for my essay.
