Paper Topics:
1) Identify how a work triggered an emotional response in you or an emotional discovery.
Consider what happens during the reading process.
2) Analyze a work's literary elements; theme, tone, mood, symbolism, etc. Consider how it helps
construct meaning within the work.
3) Analyze the motivations behind the writing that help shape meaning in the text. Consider
how gender roles help shape meaning in the text, or how sexual desires help shape meaning in
the text, or how unconscious fears help shape meaning in the text.
4) Analyze the text as a reflection of society as it opposes or reinforces a male-centered culture
and the stereotypes and oppression of women. Observe and challenge the role women play in the text and decide whether or not this role is appropriate. Pay particular attention to the strength of women both as writers and characters.
