IDEAS SUPPORTED WITH QUOTES FROM THE NOVEL.

ASSIGNMENT:

Review the five lenses from the handout “Lenses for Reading Literature” (handed out in class 6/15 and posted on our Moodle site). With one of the lenses in mind, write about either Virginia, Clarissa or Laura and an aspect of their struggle. Be sure you have an argumentative thesis statement.

You need to develop a specific, argument thesis statement and support your points with the text. For example I might use the following as my thesis if I choose the lens of Gender:

In the novel The Hours by Michael Cunningham, the pressure for Virginia Woolf to adhere to a tradition gender role leads to her untimely demise.
