Directions: <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

For this paper, you will write a 4-page essay that critically examines how two of the books that we have discussed addresses a social issue. Through a close reading of the text, you will need to examine how each of the texts disrupts or reinforces a dominant social ideology, then analyze its significance as a work of young adult literature<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>Compare and contrast how each of the texts addresses the specific social issue<\/span> <\/span>A close reading of the text requires you to use <\/span>specific <\/span><\/i>examples from the text.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a formal critical response paper in which you examine how a young adult novel that we have read works to reinforce or disrupt a master narrative of your choice. To begin, identify a social construct that is central to two of the texts we have read. This could be about race, gender, social class, age, government, technology, education etc. Then, offer a close reading of the novel with the intention of examining how each book reinforces or disrupts the master narrative surrounding the social construct you chose. <\/span><\/span>Illustrate how this social issue influences the <\/span>identity of the adolescent<\/u> <\/span>from each of the books that you have chosen. <\/span><\/span>Finally, examine the consequences of it doing so as a work of young adult literature (use the quote above and what you know about the characteristics of young adult literature). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
