Writing a 1,400-1,750-word paper can be a complex task, but breaking it down into smaller steps can make it more manageable. Here's an approach you can take to address each of the requirements:
1. Evaluating Literary Elements and Structural Devices:
a. Start by selecting the poems and literature you want to analyze. It could be a good idea to choose works that explore diverse culture, ethnicity, race, class, gender, and age.
b. Read and analyze the selected poems and literature, paying attention to literary elements such as symbolism, metaphor, theme, tone, and imagery. Look for structural devices like rhyme scheme, stanza structure, or narrative structure.
c. Take notes on how these elements and devices contribute to the overall meaning and impact of the works.
2. Describing Images of Diverse Culture and Stereotyping:
a. Identify the images of diverse culture, ethnicity, race, class, gender, and age that exist in the literature you have chosen.
b. Analyze how these images are depicted, including any stereotypes that may be present.
c. Provide examples and define the impact these images have on the overall understanding and interpretation of the works.
3. Comparing Poetic Techniques and Elements of Fantasy Literature:
a. Examine how different cultures use poetic techniques such as metaphor, simile, alliteration, or personification. Compare and contrast the use of these techniques across the selected works.
b. Discuss how elements of fantasy literature, such as magical realism or elements of the supernatural, are employed by the different cultures in the literature you are analyzing.
c. Highlight any similarities or differences in the use of poetic techniques and fantasy elements.
4. Explaining the Effect on Familial and Cultural Values:
a. Analyze how the images of diverse cultures portrayed in the literature impact familial and cultural values.
b. Discuss how the different cultures' values are reflected and challenged by the literary works.
c. Consider the role of tradition, identity, and cultural assimilation in shaping these values.
5. Explaining Deviations from Linguistic Norms and Literal Reality:
a. Investigate instances where the literature deviates from linguistic norms and literal reality, such as the use of unconventional language, non-linear narratives, or fantastical elements.
b. Explain how these deviations affect the messages conveyed by the literature. Consider whether they help to convey deeper meanings, challenge societal norms, or create a sense of escapism.
c. Analyze how the fact that a work is a poem or a fantasy influences the way messages are conveyed, received, and understood.
Remember to use additional sources, such as scholarly articles or literary criticism, to support your analysis. A comprehensive introduction and conclusion that summarize and connect all the main points of your analysis will help bring your paper together.
