After discussing the ideas at Case's website, I want you to practice writing strong thesis statements and introduction paragraphs that include the craft considerations found there.
Our sacrificial lamb is Tobias Wolff's "In the Garden of the North American Martyrs." Write a thesis statement that interprets the concept of martyr and how Wolff uses the concept in the story. To do so, you will have to write an introduction that argues who the martyrs are within this story, and why those characters are martyrs.
Remember: a good thesis and introduction in a literary analysis essay (or any essay) works to contextualize the story towards its argument...
