Threaded Discussion for Week Two: Literary Approaches
After you have read and viewed the materials in this module that introduces literary theory (aka literary criticism, lens, or approaches), please consider the below question and share your responses with your classmates.
- When you read literature, do you enjoy thinking about elements of the story in terms of race, ethnicity, class, and gendered identities, or do you enjoy the flow of the language, character development, the use of irony, or the author’s writing style?
- Please explain your answer with a concrete example or even share a passage from a text with the class to illustrate your response.
As with all threaded discussions, please post your response to this discussion by Wednesday at 11:59 pm; then for full credit, you must thoughtfully comment on the responses of two other students before Sunday at 11:59 pm.
