Critique Paper

profilepapi2lit

Now, use scholarship to better understand your interpretation. Find a scholarly article that responds to the literary work you selected for Paper 1 (it often works really well if the article takes a different/opposing position than you do). Read the article, and then answer the following questions about it:

A. What is the thesis (main point) of the article?

B. What are the major points that support the author’s thesis?

C. What is the method of development used in the article? Does the author use textual evidence through references to the text that is under consideration? Or does the author rely more upon the history, religion, or culture surrounding the creation of the text? Or does the author rely upon the opinions written by previous authors? Do you detect any of the critical perspectives we’ve studied in class (ex. Feminism, Psychological criticism, etc.) being used to interpret the primary text?

D. How effective is the author in persuading the reader of the correctness of the thesis and the adequacy of the supporting points? Incorporate references to your own interpretation of the primary text here.

E. In what ways could this article be more effective? Should there be a different method of development? Should there be different or more points in support of the thesis? Why or why not? Again, incorporate references to the primary text in these answers if appropriate. (2 pages)
