Critical Lens Essay
For my critical lens essay I chose to focus most on postcolonial theory. Post-colonialism is the study of a society during and after being colonized. It analyzes the changes that occurred, the effects on the people and their culture. Because Ceremony is a story about a Native American, it made this lens an great choice.
Like most writing pieces at HTHI, we went through multiple rounds of peer critique before submitting a "final" draft. I say final in quotes because there is always room for improvement.
This is one of the first multi-page essays I have done in school, usually we just write five paragraphs. The extended length made planning and writing harder, but I think I did a good job of making it through. In the future, I hope to develop my multi-page essay writing skills as they will be important in college.
