postmodernism in contemporary texts

Use the link below to help you with this assignment. http://www2.idehist.uu.se/distans/ilmh/pm/pm-vs-mod.htm Choose 1 to 3 of the postmodern tendencies from the chart above and write a literary analysis essay about how that/those postmodern tendencies appear in your summer reading book Slaughterhouse Five or another contemporary text. (Note: I am using the broader definition of the word “text” here. Every description or representation of the world, fictional or otherwise, is an attempt to describe or define reality, and is in some way a construct of reality, a text. A text is any media product we wish to examine, whether it is a television program, a book, a poster, a popular song, the latest fashion, etc.) Your essay should have: – A clear introduction that introduces both the text and the postmodern tendencies that you are focused on. The end of this introduction should have a thesis statement that asserts how the chosen text adheres to this tendency. – Body paragraphs that demonstrate your thesis statement with direct evidence from the text and your own explanations of this evidence. – A conclusion that restates your argument and also explains its greater relevance or leaves the reader with a fresh insight or statement. For this essay you will have to cite both the book Slaughterhouse Five and the Chart. Follow MLA guidelines for formatting and citation.
