Discussion: Literary Criticism Theory Application
For our discussion this week, let’s see how well you understand literary criticism approaches by examining an image.
Take a look at the image below from the cover of a book based on Perrault’s Cinderella or The Little Glass Slipper. Decide upon one or more of the lenses/approaches (Links to an external site.) from which to view this image. (ex.- How might a feminist view this image?
What does this image say about the economic values of a particular culture? Is there a religious influence in this image?How about viewing it through an ecocriticism lens?) would like to see as many approaches as possible discussed throughout this discussion from our large class so refer to the previous slides within this week's module.
DO NOT SUMMARIZE the plot of the tale. There is no text here, so only interpret based on what you see through that lens.
Begin by identifying the lens/approach you are using, see the Purdue OWL (Links to an external site.).
Briefly define it and then discuss your criticism of the image through that lens.
Simply restating what someone else has said in a different way will not earn you any points. Sure, you may use the same approach as another classmate, but your stance and analysis must differ.
Also, responding to others’ posts by simply telling them what a great job they did in their initial post will also earn no points.
Respond to others’ posts by challenging or furthering their critical approach, not just that it’s interesting or done well. Continue to extend their lens further or question their interpretation and then offer an alternative:)
Directions: Choose one of the topics below and write a well-organized essay in response. Be sure to include strong thesis and topic sentences.
Your should be the last sentence of your intro and each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that indicates what that paragraph will be about.
In both “Killings” and “The Cask of Amontillado” we meet characters who are bent on revenge. While they may have different reasons for doing what they do, the outcome is the same. Which character is more justified in what he does? Make sure that you incorporate quotations to help support your assertion.

Purpose
The Primary Source Analysis Paper is designed to help you meet three objectives:
1. Describe and cite a complex primary source (commercial, billboard, magazine cover, a scene from a movie or TV show, a movie poster, or a trailer, a speech, debate, social media post, slogan on a t-shirt, a person’s non-verbal action or inaction, video game, op-ed, short story, or any other medium you can think of).
2. Practice and apply the analytical moves described in our textbook
3. Practice developing open-ended research questions
Requirements
In 2-3 double-spaced pages using MLA format:
Briefly describe the primary source, identifying who made it, why they made it, and where you found it.
Thoroughly analyze the primary source, focusing on patterns of detail or meaning as you develop an interpretive claim about the primary source.
Support your interpretive claim by defining and explaining the specific details you found significant in your analysis of the primary source.
Connect your analysis to two or three open-ended questions that you could research further for your Annotated Bibliography, Secondary Source Integration, and Analytical Research Paper assignments.
What is the genre of the text (e.g., poetry, essay, novel, etc)? How does that genre affect the meaning?
What are the major themes and meanings of the work as a whole? How does this passage contribute to them? Does it complicate or refine those themes and meanings? How?
(You need to be aware of the themes of the work as a whole, but remember that this assignment is focused on a particular passage.
Do not distract yourself by analyzing the overall theme at the expense of the particular aspect of the theme which appears in your chosen passage.)
What does the passage tell us about the characters involved? If applicable, which characters are speaking?
What is the significance of this particular passage?
Does the passage contain allusions to other texts? How do those allusions contribute to our reading of the passage? Does it contain assumptions which influence our understanding of the themes and meaning of the larger work?
