Find three different titles from three different forms of media—books, articles, essays, movies, albums, etc.—in any genre, that you find particularly strong or compelling and write a brief analysis of each one. Consider the stylistic decisions behind the word choice, structure, length, punctuation, etc.: What makes these titles work—both in general and for these particular pieces? What expectations do they raise—in terms of content, tone, genre, etc.? What themes or values do they suggest? What do they leave unanswered or unspoken?

What might you take away from these examples as you [re]consider the titles of your own stories for this class?
