Pick any short story ALICE MUNRO (b. 1931) Boys and Girls we’ve read this semester and, employing the shared tenets of Ideological Criticism—Marxism, Feminism, Queer Theory, Ethnic Studies, Postcolonialism, etc.—compose an essay in which you develop and defend an original thesis. Pay careful attention to the elements of fiction—plot, point of view, character, setting, figurative language, and theme—in organizing your ideas and support; you need not, however, mention all of these elements in your essay, and perhaps only one or two. You should also make some effort to place your position in critical context, quoting from at least three other scholarly texts.
Consider the ideas below in formulating your thesis. You should also feel free to peruse and be inspired by the sections entitled, “Suggestions for Writing,” at the end of many of the textbook’s albums and chapters (140, 209, 257, 281, 313, 378, 424, 474, 511, 562, and 605—from which the suggestions below are adapted). Write an essay exploring the various meanings of a story’s major symbols, focusing on how these symbols work together to convey a central message to readers.
