Read three short stories by the acclaimed writer Philip K Dick. While you might not know his name or stories, you do know movies made from his novels and stories (Blade Runner, Minority Report, and many others). You also are required to read a literature critique (Thorpe, 2011 “Death of a Salesman: Petit-Bourgeois Dread in Philip K. Dick’s Mainstream Fiction”) of his novels. All these documents are provided in the attached files.
Write a 6-8 page discussion/analysis/response that uses the ideas in the critique to discuss/analyze/synthesize the short stories.
The writing must include all the elements of good academic writing we have worked on this semester, and should show that you have learned how to work through the critical thinking process enough to provide a thoughtful synthesis of the article and the stories.
