One of the unspoken messages behind the poems, short stories and plays we are reading this semester is that art imitates life. In that comparison, we will see through literary art that the decision about how and what we do affect more than just ourselves by examining current issues in American culture through literary arguments and analysis. As the literary selections assembled make clear, our actions and choices are but one link in a much larger chain, one that connects us to countless fellow citizens in so many ways. Using an argument presented somewhere within one of the thematic readings in this unit, you will write a 2-4 page literary analysis essay in which you explore an issue presented in the literary work in order to make the appropriate connections between the creative work and the real world.
