The prompt:
Your investigation should study the text(s) in light of one of the following concepts:
Identity – how the text(s) presents identity, whether it be of a particular character, a group of characters, or perhaps even the writer
Culture – the representation of the culture of a particular place, institution, group of people, or how the text(s) relates to a particular culture
Creativity – how the text(s) presents individual or group creativity (or lack thereof), or how the text represents the creativity of the writer
Communication – what the text(s) says about communication, or the failure of communication, or how the text(s) represents an act of communication
Transformation – how the text(s) presents transformation of identity, relationships, goals, values or beliefs in characters, the author or even the reader
Perspective – how the text(s) offers perspective on its subject or of the writer
Representation – how the text(s) represents a theme, attitude or concept, or how the text(s) represents reality
The above concepts are deliberately vague to give you a wide range of possibilities of what to write about, but also to direct you towards defining your terms (what about identity? culture? perspective?). Your ultimate goal is to construct a focused analysis examining your text(s) from a broad linguistic or literary perspective.
