Literary Analysis!
Prompt: In Jennifer Government, author Max Barry takes readers on a journey through an alternate reality where corporations are king, taxes are abolished, and the government can be bought and sold to the highest bidder. Write a five to six page thesis-driven literary analysis in which you analyze how Barry uses figurative language to connect a particular character, motif, or symbol to one of the themes (such as C.R.E.A.M., guerrilla marketing, conspicuous consumption, wage slavery, globalization, or outsourcing) in the novel. Use at least three sources from class (texts, documentaries, songs) to illustrate and support your logical reasons.
The purpose of a literary analysis essay is to carefully examine and sometimes evaluate a work of literature or an aspect of a work of literature. As with any analysis, this requires you to break the subject down into its component parts. Examining the different elements of a piece of literature is not an end in itself but rather a process to help you better appreciate and understand the work of literature as a whole.
