2) Analyze the portrayal of women of color in Oryx and Crake and “Rachel.”
3) Analyze the representation of motherhood and/or parenting in two of the following: “When Twilight Falls on the Stump Lots,” “Little Pilgrims,” “Everything that Rises Must Converge,” “Dogs in Winter,” and “Simple Recipes.”
4) The domestic realm, traditionally a realist space, is depicted as a gothic space in several of the texts we have read this semester. Analyze how two of the following texts draw on gothic conventions to evoke the dangers/fears/anxieties that lie behind the seemingly “homely” veneer of the domestic realm: “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “A Rose for Emily,” “The Yellow Wallpaper,” and The Turn of the Screw.
5) Analyze how Oryx and Crake and “Rachel” interrogate essentialist/traditional understandings of “nature” and/or the “human.”
6) Several of the texts we have read this semester feature “writerly” characters who stand as figures of authorship and, as in some cases, as figures for the author him/herself (i.e., Del Jordan in Alice Munro’s “The Flats Road”). Analyze how two of the following texts represent the figure of the writer, taking into consideration the significance of this figure to the broader thematic concerns of the texts in question: Dracula, The Turn of the Screw, “The Yellow Wallpaper,” “Everything that Rises Must Converge,” “We Must Sit Opposite,” and “The Flats Road.”
7) Analyze the significance of geographical locale in two of the following: “A Rose for Emily,” “Everything that Rises Must Converge,” and “The Flats Road.”

9) Analyze the theme of confinement/imprisonment in two of the following: “The Fall of the House of Usher,” Dracula, “The Yellow Wallpaper,” and The Turn of the Screw.
