For your final assignment, you will use an actual published article by an actual Clemson English Department faculty member and use its approach to make an argument of your own about a book, poem, film, or other cultural artifact. (1,500 words.)
The phrase “use its approach” seems to be causing some agitation. To restate: your argument should be clearly informed by a specific article published by a member of the English department at Clemson University. “Informed by” means that you demonstrate an understanding of the article, that you cite it appropriately (Tumblr does not handle footnotes well, so you can use parenthetical citation, but make sure your citations are accurate), and that you use it to make an argument of your own about a text (novel, play, poem, film, TV show, image, sculpture, video game, website, historical site, other article etc, of your own).
