Choose some aspect of new historicism and cultural criticism (not the entire theory, but a particular aspect) and apply that aspect of the theory as a means of analyzing one of the novels or poetry collections you have read. This class is College Composition and Literature, and part of being an college writer and a critical thinker who provides analysis of a literary text is the ability to come up with your own topic and thesis with certain parameters. You have to figure out what it is you want us to know about the novel or collection of poems when analyzed through the particular lens of a particular theory.
