Reading Overview and Analysis Assignment

After reading all of the assigned texts, write a 500 word overview of the material that includes quotes and analysis. 

You have three reading assignments this week that are provided to assist you with the Cultural Analysis essay.

1- Begin by reading "Selection, Slanting, and Charged Language" by the Birks. As you read this text, consider how your "lens" might impact your analysis and the ways language and images can be constructed or articulated for various purposes. 

2- Read the excerpt from Protocols of Reading by Robert Scholes. This is a difficult text, but it provides professional examples of close analysis based on textual evidence -- exactly what you will be doing in your Cultural Analysis essay. 

3- Read the excerpt from Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari.  It provides an overview of the differences between subjective, objective, and intersubjective knowledge. These concepts are key to the current assignment.
