Assignment 5
• Choose a short story, play or poem. Relying upon your own
analysis and literary critics you find, draw upon those earlier
examples of literary criticism , to aid you
to identify possible bias (political, gender–based, racial, etc.).
Demonstrate how the author reveals this bias or ideological
predisposition.
• Then explore literary criticism that either supports or refutes the
view that bias does in fact, exist, or suggests another inherent
meaning. Provide a cogent, logically reasoned thesis you can
support with evidence through an informed discussion.
