Station Eleven

The purpose of this essay is to provide a convincing argument around a declarative claim (thesis) about Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, supported with evidence taken from the text using the literary elements of character, narration, conflict, setting, plot, story, symbolism, tone, and theme. You must take direct quotations from the text to support these claims. Your discussion posts should be a point of reference that will help in drafting this essay.

The thesis must center around a single declarative statement that will be proven by analyzing the elements of fiction with evidence taken as direct quotations. You could either focus on one literary element (such as who/what really is the protagonist) or all the elements to tackle a broader statement (such as the thematic statement).
