Grade 8 literary analysis connects character, conflict, and craft to a theme you can defend with lines from the text. Students track how a narrator's point of view limits knowledge, how irony undercuts a spoken claim, and how two texts treat a similar theme. Plot summary is only the first step toward interpretation.
