Literature Analysis Essay Assignment



Prompt:
One of the most consistent conflicts in modern human history has been between those who are believers in a faith and those who are not. These battles can take many forms and happen in any facet of society: in Pamuk's excerpt from Snow, the issue is a governmental mandate at odds with religious expression, while in Hornby's "NippleJesus," the fight concerns art that religious conservatives find offensive. But whatever the arena, these conflicts can often be hostile and unflinching. For this essay, explore the ways in which the spiritual and the secular collide in either "I Hope I'm Not Taking Too Much of Your Time" from Snow or "NippleJesus. " including what is at the root of the conflict and how it might've been resolved differently. Use specific examples from the short story to support your thesis.

Requirements:
  • MLA format, including parenthetical citation
  • Two pages minimum
Due: Thursday, October 16 (draft 1; bring four [4] copies of your essay); Tuesday, October
21 (final draft with draft 1 attached)
