30 Aug Writing on any one of the major texts in this course (one of The Truth About Stories, Persepolis, Adaptation, or The Nickel Boys)
Writing on any one of the major texts in this course (one of The Truth About Stories, Persepolis, Adaptation, or The Nickel Boys), discuss one theme in that specific reading (choose one of belonging, alienation, borders, nationalism, individuality, redemption, or memory) and consider the ways in which the medium of the text (a series of lectures, a graphic novel, a film, or a traditional novel) enriches, complicates, or potentially limits the forcefulness of that theme. Make sure to substantively deploy at least two literary terms in this analytical essay.
In short: pick one text, pick one theme, determine at least two literary terms, and write an essay considering all of these concerns. The paper must be minimum 1000 words and maximum 1250 words (be sure to include a word count at the end of the essay).
Please submit the essay in double-spaced Times New Roman 12-point font with 1-inch margins. Please see the example essay in the Assignments module for MLA formatting reference.
