The ways we lie pdf

Allusions Essay

1. Review the themes from Hamlet that were assigned that are now available as a slideshow on Google Classroom. Also, re-read the essay “The Ways We Lie” by Stephanie Ericsson. Consider carefully her thesis and her description of types of lying. 


2. Consider the characters, plot, themes, and conflicts in your chosen book club novels. Reflect on the ways in which the characters in your novel(s) demonstrate some of the themes or lies found in Hamlet. 


3. Choose a primary text: Either one of the novels or Hamlet.


4. Create a thesis statement which outlines the specific direction for your essay. Your thesis should be taken from one of the themes we studied in Hamlet, which includes the lies from Ericsson’s essay. QUICK EXAMPLE: “In the first half of the play, Hamlet employs facades, deflection, and ignoring plain facts in order to convince himself he is avenging his father’s death” OR “Throughout the entire novel the central character must struggle with her perception of what is real and what is the product of her imagination (madness) in seeking the truth about her husband”.


5. Complete an outline, rough draft, and good copy of the essay, adhering to the assigned deadlines for each step.
