Complete a 3 page close reading. You must interrogate the use of language, style, and tone of the passage as well as give a critical interpretation of its meaning. Additionally, your close reading of the passage should discuss some of the broader thematic or sociopolitical issues within Anglophone Caribbean literatures. These issues include, but are not limited to: Indigenous dispossession, colonialism and slavery, economics, class, language (nation language, patois, creole language, etc), culture, creolization and contact, mimicry, corruption, place (both physical and figurative—ie, the Caribbean as a site of in-betweenness), gender, and sexuality. The close reading should also make a larger claim in the context of the text itself. That is, while you are performing a detailed close reading of a section of a text, your analysis should account for a theme, motif, or aspect of the text more broadly.
