Write an argumentative, thesis-driven paper about one of the assigned texts from the third section of the course (“How English Majors Think: Literary Analysis & Critical Theory”). You should analyze this text through at least one theoretical lens.

How to complete the assignment: Choose a primary text (Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Morrison’s “Recitatif,” Hwang’s M. Butterfly, or Everett’s Erasure) & at least one theoretical lens (feminism, gender studies/queer theory, postcolonial theory, and/or critical race theory) through which to analyze that text. Find compelling passages from the primary text to close read that your theoretical lens(es) can help unpack. Also, find compelling passages from the theoretical readings that might help you analyze your primary text. Consider how all these passages help you devise an argument about your chosen primary text. Offer an argument/thesis about your primary text. Prove your argument by providing textual evidence and analysis. Organize your paper effectively in order to convince your reader of your argument.
