A handout will be given for each paper. These categories do not exhaust the possibilities. You may also criticize or examine a specific aspect of the book or film that you think is important. Responses should be clear, relevant, and analytical. In addition to required work noted elsewhere on the syllabus, each student taking this course for graduate credit will prepare a paper of from 3,000 to 5,000 words in length on a topic to be chosen in consultation with the instructor.
Alternative projects are possible.
