Literary Analysis of Yuri Herreraâ€s Signs Preceding the End of the World Overview: We have been reading Yuri Herreraâ€s novel, Signs Preceding the End of the World, and discussed the text, as well as the various approaches toward literary analysis, in class at length. We have gone from summary to analysis, applying the elements of fiction (see handout) to the text in order to address larger analytical questions about the textâ€s components which, by answering, help us understand not only the text as a whole, but what it can tell us about our world. Assignment: Write your own literary analysis essay of Herreraâ€s novel. In order to do this, first focus on an “issue” that the novel brings up (in overt or subtle ways), such as, but not limited to, the following: gender, immigration, migration, nationalism, language and communication, racial and ethnic discrimination, class, and education. Pick an issue that interests you, and about which you believe you can write a well- constructed essay. Then, begin thinking of HOW and WHY questions (or analytical questions that arenâ€t how or why questions) that you can ask the text about the “issue” youâ€d like to focus on. For example, if you decide to focus on gender, good questions might be, “Why does Herrera name his female protagonist after the word “machine”? Why is it significant that she is, in various ways, a messenger?” Here are some of the questions weâ€ve brought up in class (and more will come up as we work our way through it), which you can use and write your essay about (but I highly encourage you to come up with and answer your own): -How does/doesnâ€t Makina fit the common portrayal (or stereotypes) of women in Latin American culture (or American culture in general)? -Why does Herrera use flashbacks (and flash-forwards) in the novel to disrupt the flow of the narrative? -How does the scene at the baseball stadium represent and discuss larger issues relating to American identity, nationalism, etc.? -How does the novel represent men, and what does this representation say about our world? -Why does Herrera use vague, non-specific names for towns, countries, and languages, and what might this have to do with issues such as nationalism, immigration, immigration, etc.? -How does Herrera portray the Spanglish language? -How is this novel addressing the end of the world—what does the end of the world mean for Makina, and what are its signs? -What is the significance of holes, the underworld, caves, basements, etc. in the novel? -Why doesnâ€t Makina want to stay in the “U.S.”, in the beginning, and how does this change throughout the novel? -How does the narratorâ€s portrayal of Makinaâ€s home country (Mexico?) differ from the portrayal of where she ends up (the U.S.?)? -How does Makina live up to the meaning of her name (or how doesnâ€t she)? After coming up with an “issue” that interests you and fertile questions that address it, begin looking through the text for evidence that helps support and answer your questions. So, your thesis will essentially be your answer to your central question(s), and your body paragraphs will “prove” your answer to the question by analyzing the text according to specific elements (see handout and class notes) that you find throughout the novel to back up your claim. Then, begin filling out the outline handout (due with your draft), and once you have a complete (but tentative—it can always change as you begin the drafting process), construct an essay of three double-spaced pages (12 pt. font, header, title, MLA citations). -develop an analysis of the novel that exhibits an understanding of and critical thinking about the text; and, -convey your thoughts in clear, focused, and organized writing. The final draft is due at the end of class on 5/2. For draft instructions and dates, see separate Blackboard post.  Do you need a similar assignment done for you from scratch?
