First, determine which authorial techniques you'll address in your essay and what textual evidence you'll include. Remember you'll need to address at least two techniques. If you need help planning these details, look back at the work you did on the graphic organizers in the unit. Use these guiding questions as you plan your analysis

Then, complete the table. For each authorial technique you've chosen to address, provide textual evidence from two or more texts in the unit that demonstrates the author's use of the technique in the first column. In the second column, describe the effect it creates, such as mystery, tension, or surprise.
