Literary Analysis Essay - Thoughts

It may seem daunting to write your first literary analysis. And it can be. But don't let it. Like any assignment, approach it in chunks. I've eaten many a large pizza this way.

What about the themes presented - determinism, instinct versus intellectualism, survival at any cost...Now you've got something to chew on - much like the aforementioned pizza.
