This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin®.
In this module, we have explored how different literary works engage with internal and external journeys. Now it is your turn to make an argument, helping a reader understand your own interpretation of fiction.
Please choose one of the essay topics below.
Option 1: Many of this module’s short stories portray conflict between characters who have different goals, beliefs, or demographics (gender, age, etc.). Analyze how 1-2 assigned works use a journey to convey the complexity of relationships among humans. What is the significance of what the text(s) has to say?
Option 2: Compare how one short story and one poem from this module depict change as the result of a journey. Rather than summarizing each text, focus on explaining what the reader can/should learn from these portrayals of people’s literal or metaphorical pilgrimages. What is the significance of what each text has to say?
