1. You will be assigned ONE of the following stories/authors to analyze and prepare a presentation on. You will be assigned based on the first letter of your last name. (If you choose, you may work with a partner to complete this assignment as long as partners are assigned the same story/author. Learning to work in small groups and with other people in a collaborative format will help prepare you for the professional world you will enter once you leave the college setting.) You will have one week to complete your research, analysis and presentation. Presentations will be submitted through the Discussion Board section of the course so classmates can view and respond to them.
2. Consider the following ideas as you research your assigned author (not all of these will apply to all of the authors):
How might the author’s childhood experiences be revealed in the story?
How might the author’s political beliefs be represented in the story?
How might the author’s interest in environmental issues, social issues, or political issues be revealed in the story?
How might parables be used in the story?
How might the author’s religious beliefs be represented in the story?
What kinds of symbols have been used in the story, what do those symbols represent, and why did the author use those symbols?
