You should choose to write about EITHER Luke Carman’s An Elegant Young Man OR Michael Mohammed Ahmad’s The Tribe.

The selected passages and question/s will be posted on vUWS in Week 3.

Students should locate the passage within the book as a whole, and analyse some of the literary techniques that it employs. These may include the structure of the narrative, the style and use of narrative voice, and the use of focalization. Students may also wish to comment (where appropriate) on the use of metaphor, allusion, irony, and intertextuality within the extract.
