“The Namesake” book by Jhumpa Lahi
The essay that this outline is about is about analyzing Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake, utilizing one or more of the approaches that have been uploaded. You will ultimately have to find some point you want to make about the novel after considering it from the chosen approach or approaches. That means your essay must have a thesis, which does more than tell the reader you are approaching the text from, for example, a feminist point of view. In fact, it will not be necessary that you specify the approach(es) in the thesis statement or introduction as long as it is apparent within the body of the paper what you are doing. To develop the paper, support your thesis with three or four points that prove and explain your idea.
Research Element: Find and include one outside, scholarly source that helps you illustrate and advance your argument about the novel. The outside source could be on the novel itself, it could deal with the approach you chose, or it could deal with both. If you do not know what a scholarly source it, talk to me ASAP. I will include some information in this unit, too.
So, you will need direct citations from the book (the hardback version), direct citations from whatever critical approach(es) you choose, and from whatever scholarly source you choose.
