Written Assignment III: The Adventure of Odysseus and Exile (5%)
Instructions: Discuss one Odyssean motif in Phu Kradart’s Exile. Then explain the significance of that motif in the novel.
Organization: It is highly recommended that you divide your paper into two parts.
In the first part, you should describe a motif from the adventure of Odysseus that recurs in Exile. In so doing, you need to point out one key similarity between the two works. Make sure you discuss the content of both works equally.
The second part should be dedicated to your analysis of the motif in Exile. (It is perfectly fine not to discuss the adventure of Odysseus in this part.) To do well in this paragraph, you need to understand the novel as a whole, that is, the theme of the novel. Use the following questions to guide your writing in this paragraph:
Why does Phu Kradart use that motif in his work?
What is the main message he wants to convey to the audience?
Writing: Each of your paragraphs should contain a clear topic sentence. Textual evidence must be drawn to support it. The use of transitional words is necessary especially in the first paragraph where you discuss the similarity between the two works.
Length: one-page long.
Deadline: Sunday 29, May, 2016 by noon.
