For this assignment, write an analysis of one of the following articles:
Ian Bogost’s “So Much for the Decentralized Internet”
Virginia Heffernan’s “Steely Eyes, Tragic Ends: The Bromantic Theory of History”
Marie Henein’s “Breaking the Law: How the State Weaponizes an Unjust Criminal Justice System”
Your essay should be double spaced, in Times New Roman 12-point font and 2.5 – 3 pages (or 625 – 750 words). Consider what the author is arguing and how they are making their claim. In performing your analysis, look for patterns in the text, such as repetitions, strands, binaries, interesting, important, revealing and strange observations (complete your Observational Lists). Use your observations to make a claim and formulate a thesis statement about the text’s meaning and also to support that claim. Be sure to ask yourself “so what?” about the observations you have highlighted. What does the text mean and how does the author support their claim(s)?
