· WEEK 7: Post-Modernism continued Lesson

· Reading and Writing about Non-Fiction and Poetry

 

In a way, literature is just like any hard science. For instance, both disciplines require proof of an interpretation. Furthermore, there always seems to be more than one interpretation, though this could lead to concern as to whether your interpretation is “right.” To show that your interpretation is correct, you need to have the ability to prove it with evidence. In literature’s case, the evidence will come from the text.

In this lesson, we’ll further expand our discussion about writing a good literary analysis, including how to find good textual evidence to support our interpretations. We will also look closely at a postmodernist writer, John Grisham, who is known just as much for his fiction as well as his non-fiction writings. Additionally, we will examine forms of literature beyond what we have studied so far, namely expository essay writing.

Topics covered in this lesson include:

· How to Read and Understand an Expository Essay

· Reading and Writing about Poetry

· John Grisham
