1. Write a short paper (4-5pages) that makes an argument about the chosen text in relation to the source(s). Your paper should not simply summarize the two texts but have a thesis that attempts to answer a critical question (Think about how they represent people and norms in similar/different ways; what they have to say or criticize about their society; how the authors or characters see themselves in the world. Does the fictional work reflect, satirize, or subvert the commentary or criticism made in the non-fictional readings?). Your body paragraphs should make direct reference to both readings with carefully integrated quotes.

6. In your conclusion, try to reflect on how the points you’ve made throughout the paper compare to contemporary critics of popular culture. In what ways are these critiques timeless? How has our understanding of popular and trashy culture changed? Use specific examples.
