critical-analysis-13

WRITE A 500-750 WORD ESSAY ON ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TOPICS:

1. Write a critical analysis of one of the assigned course syllabus readings from Weeks 1 or 2. An overview of approaches can be found here, but many are quite straightforward. Psychological, gender, sociological, biographical, and historical are all approaches that many use naturally in viewing a work. Whichever approach you choose, be sure to make the assigned readings your primary focus.

2. Compare and contrast two of the assigned course syllabus readings from Weeks 1 and 2. Be sure that you have isolated a strong and debatable thesis on which to build the essay. Simply pointing out the differences is not analysis. Toward that end, you may want to focus on a specific element of the stories.
