For each element, they should identify it, explain it in the story, and explain how the author uses it and why. They should also include a quote from the text that reinforces their analysis. An example analysis is provided to demonstrate the format. The instructions emphasize thoughtful engagement with the text and understanding how elements shape its meaning.
