Instructions

The assignment includes two parts. Each section should be at least one paragraph. Follow the instructions to complete Part 1 & 2.

1. After you read the Lectures on Literary Criticism, choose one school from Literary Criticism Theories and summarize the key concept of that approach in your own words. Write at least one paragraph summarizing the key concepts of that school including major philosophers who established it. Refer to the Literary Criticism pdf textbook Download Literary Criticism pdf textbook to choose one chapter for your in-depth response here.

• You need to have at least 2 quotes with citation from the textbook to demonstrate your knowledge of the reading material.
• Your post should demonstrate a clear knowledge and understanding of the literary theory you chose to study.

2. For the second part, think of a literature or art piece you would be able to analyze using this literary theory. For example, we used structuralism to analyze the Images. Think about one example where using one of these theories would help you understand and analyze that concept better and explain why.

• Bring specific examples. It can be a literary work, a movie, a media news, or advertisement etc... If you look at it closely, you will see that these theories help us look at the world though different perspectives.

P.S. Since we studied about Structuralism and Marxism separately, do NOT use these two theories here.
