We discussed chapter 11, and worked in groups to determine the book's themes. We then examined a variety of Critical Lens prompts, and analyzed them to see if we could use Frederick Douglass in our responses.
Homework
Pick one of the Critical Lens quotes and write a Critical Lens Essay (The prompt is below). One novel will be Frederick Douglass, the other is whichever novel you have read in high school which best fits the quote. Remember, this should be six paragraphs: an intro; two body paragraphs about text one; two body paragraphs about text two; and a conclusion paragraph. Follow the directions below carefully. For your intro, feel free to use the quote itself as your hook. BE SURE to refer to specific literary elements throughout.
You will have Friday in class to work on this, plus the entire weekend. This is due on Monday/Tuesday.
Your Task:
Critical Lens:
Write a critical essay in which you discuss two works of literature you have read from the particular perspective of the statement that is provided for you in the Critical Lens. In your essay, provide a valid interpretation of the statement, agree or disagree with the statement as you have interpreted it, and support your opinion using specific references to appropriate literary elements from the two works.
