Compose a critical essay (or other form of writing) in which you attempt to answer one of the following questions. (Use the same parameters as essays #1-2). Due: April 22, to be shared in class, hopefully; rewrites due: April 29th.
1. (Practice): How is interpretation related to appreciation when approaching literature as a form of art?
2. (Fiction): a. Can a reader be genuinely emotionally moved by fictional entities? or
b. What does it mean to tell a fictional story?
3. (Truth): Is truth an aspiration of literature? If so, what kind? (And if not, why not?)
4. (Value): a. Is there any objective basis for placing value on literature? or
b. Does ethics have anything to do with literary value?
