Directions: From the list above, choose the theoretical approach that you personally find most helpful or productive. You are to then compose an essay in which you defend your preference for a theoretical lens by outlining the key features of your chosen theory and why these are meaningful or helpful. Further, you are to apply your chosen theory to any text of your choosing a novel, poem, comic, video game, film, television show, monument, etc. You must show in your reading how this theoretical application leads to a rich, interesting and illuminative reading of the text.
