First, introduce yourself briefly, and include your preferred name. Discuss your prior knowledge of and interest in the course topic. Also, explain how this course will assist you in your career path.
Next, based on the readings for this module, identify the key components of one of the major theoretical schools to be studied in this class (psychoanalytic, feminist, Marxist, deconstructionist). On what kinds of questions or concerns is this theoretical approach built? How might this theory be used in an analysis of Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”? Discuss specific characters, scenes, or imagery in the story and how it can be approached through your chosen theoretical lens.
Respond to at least two of your classmates. Select posts that take a theoretical approach different from your own and discuss the differences in perspective. What are the benefits of the other theoretical perspective? What are the disadvantages?
