Major
My major is English: Textual Studies. This section includes a piece that I wrote for “20th Century American Fiction” about race relations, financial gain, and human nature in Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian. In addition, it includes selected pieces about Muriel Sparks's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and defamiliarization of peas in "Letter to a Frozen Peas Manufacturer" from "Literary Criticism: 20th Century."
"Whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent"
The Judge; Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
ENGL 3822
Literary Criticism: 20th Century
Both of these essays were written during the Spring of 2018. The first, an essay about defamiliarization of peas in "Letter to a Frozen Peas Manufacturer" was our midterm. The second, a formalist analysis of the character "Miss Jean Brodie" in Muriel Sparks's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, was our final.
