The Story of an Hour and The Storm
After you have closely read and developed a thorough understanding of your critical article, begin drafting a 1-2 page critique. The critique should be a balanced discussion and evaluation of what you feel are the strengths (ideas with which you strongly feel are valid and add to your understanding of the story), weaknesses (points or ideas that you feel are not well supported by the events or details in the story as you understand it) and notable features (points or ideas that you found particularly interesting or that increased your understanding of the work).
Your overall critique may be positive, negative or mixed, but you must provide support from the actual text of the story for your comments. In this part of the project, you are only allowed to cite from the critical article or your textbook in the form of either a: summary, paraphrase, specific detail, or direct quotation with MLA style in text citation) from the work.
Remember to base your discussion of the article on the specific points highlighted in your article summary.
Example:

Conclusion
Conclude with a summary of your final judgment. In your concluding paragraph, clearly restate your thesis or overall opinion of the analyzed work.
