Assessment 2: Narrative Module task
Due Date: Monday, September 21, 5PM, to be submitted through Turnitin on vUWS
Complete the following task in no less than 750 and no more than 850 words. (Please list the total word count either at the top or bottom of your assignment.)
In weeks 6-8 of the Narrative Module we focussed on three concepts that constitute basic aspects of narratives: story (that which happened), plot (the ordering and structuring of events), and narration (how events are told, which can also be called ‘discourse’). We also focussed on genre, not merely as type, but as a way of understanding how a work of fiction articulates the nature of the society in which it was produced.
Reflect on the ways in which the narration relates to genre and answer the following question:
With detailed reference to Eleanor Dark’s Return to Coolami (1936), discuss the ways in which genre is employed in order to engage with one or more of the following issues: gender; marriage; nationality; war; bush/city dichotomy.
For this assessment, you will need to practice your skills in essay writing. Your response should contain a clear thesis statement in the introduction (which answers the question). Each paragraph should contain a well developed topical point. Direct engagement with the novel and citation is imperative to showing that you have read it carefully!
