Postmodernism in American Literature and Its Importance Analysis Submit a 250 word (min.) analysis of a literary work assigned this week. To do this:
First, pick a literary element or device that you think is important to the story/poem/play (see Literary Terms and Movements handout).
Create a thesis analyzing the importance of the term to the literary work. Ex: Modernism is important to Eliot’s poem because
Analyze (rather than summarize) the text. Dont just restate what happens; instead, make an argument about how the term is relevant to the text.
Use cited quotes from the text as support to substantiate your analysis (required).
Use APA format. No research is required unless you need to look up the literary term; emphasize your own thoughts on the literary device or element in the work; do not rely on a source to tell you how the device is important to the text.
