Humanities Homework Help

I’m working on a literature discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Literary theory (literary criticism) enables a broad appreciation of global literature. Reading a text through the lens of literary theory provides a new perspective to better understand literature, learn more about different authors’ intentions, and generally improve the quality of literature for both authors and readers. 

For this week, research three different schools of literary criticism and explain what they are about. Connect your findings to the literature that we read this semester, and explain how a school of literary criticism might be used to analyze one of our texts. 

texts read: Scarlett letter, Their eyes were watching God, Walden, Life of a slave girl
