Now that you have learned about structuralist criticism and deconstructionist criticism, you should choose
some aspect of one of the theories (not the entire theory, but a particular aspect) and apply that aspect of the
theory as a means of analyzing one of the novels you have read. There is no professor-assigned prompt for
this essay. This class is Advanced Composition and Critical Thinking, and part of being an advanced writer and
a critical thinker is being able to come up with your own topic and thesis with certain parameters. You have to
figure out what it is you want us to know about the novel when analyzed the particular lens of a particular
theory. I will say that an answer to a particular discussion question from the modules on the two theories might
be the beginning of a thesis statement for your essay, so go back and review what people had to say in
response to the discussion questions to see if you can find a way into your analysis. Also, remember that MLA
formatting and citation are required. The essay should cite both from the textbook and from the novel.
