You have a good understanding of this passage, but your commentary shifts from analysis to explanation without much awareness of literary devices or style. Approach your analysis with a greater appreciation of this as a crafted piece of writing by Munro. Continually refer to her and what she intentionally included in this text and why/what the effect is. In order to be successful on this assessment you must use more subject specific literary terminology. For example ‘epiphany’ as opposed to aha moment. Your commentary needs to be grounded much more in analysis.
Be careful, the story does not ‘talk about.’ Be very mindful of using this term. Try to shift to an analysis of Munro’s writer’s craft instead of simply explaining the story. Review effect phrases handout guidance.
