How you organize the paper is up to you, but I would recommend this structure: first, provide a description of the critical conversation and how your argument contributes to it and then develop your argument through a close analysis of a key theme or problem in the text. Write a paper that enters into the scholarly debate about the novel’s representation of the local and/or the natural within the context of globalization. What critical approaches to this question do you find most compelling? Take a stance within the conversation or propose some middle position.
