Essay Topic

For the essay assignment I would like to focus on aspects of "Milk". I am drawn to this story because it is about an over protective father and my parents were very nervous and worried people when I was a child. I would like to dig deeper into the story using different terms and concepts of literature and narratives. I will also examine the structure of the story. I want to really get to know the narrator and search the text for clues about who he is as a person and as a father and husband. I still need to reread the story several times , but I think my paper will mostly focus on those clues about the narrator. I will also be on a search for symbolism, which I think is abundant in this story. The milk cartons and fingerprints are obvious symbols but I think there may be more than these in the text. I am excited to work with this story!
