English110: P5.5 Clarification.
Clarification on P5.5. Firstly, P5.5 = literature + analysis + visual.
Basically, I did my sample on text-based analysis (choice B on the handout), but students don't have to do that kind. There are two other choices!
What I would do is choose the essay you liked the most of David's. Then, see what is in the essay that you want to analyze.
If you want to just figure out WHY you liked it so much, do A which is Reader-Response.
If you want to dive into his words, choose B like I did.
If you'd like to look at what was happening culture/society-wise at that time (and how it affected him), then I'd do C - Cultural Analysis.Whatever type of analysis you do, your quotes from the essay should connect to that analysis.
My quotes showed my analysis of the TEXT. Other quotes could connect to how you felt or reacted to him or your READER RESPONSE, etc.
