Your thesis for this paper, a textual analysis paper focusing on HOW the text is written, follows this general pattern:
[Author] uses [add some literary devices] to [add a verb and then the specific message you want to focus on].
Of course, this is just a pattern and I don't want you to necessarily follow it to the letter. But, you need to include some literary devices and a specific message.
Taking the Jason Sheenan essay, "Mama's House" as our chosen text, here's a sample thesis:
In the adventure narrative "Mama's House" Jason Sheehan uses cultural details, analogies, colloquial language, and dialog to capture the urgency of finding an underground Ghanaian home restaurant.
