For all papers, provide a brief summary, followed by a detailed analysis (with support) and then an exploration of the chosen theme for each piece. In each case, connect your theme to something in your own experience or the real world.
-For “The Storm” by Kate Chopin the theme is morality. (ie, Is the author saying cheating is ok?)
-For Videotape by Don DeLillo the theme is how media/ technology shapes the meaning of events.
-For poetry, the theme will be up to you to discover.
(“How To Like It” by Stephen Dobyns, “Rape” by Jayne Cortez, “Boys at the Edge” by Leonard Nathan, “wishes for sons” by Lucille Clifton, Fragments by Stephen Dobyns)
(you can choose any one of these options)
