Art 3: Application. (3 pages)The final portion of this assignment will require students to analyze Robert Louis Stevenson's short story, "Olalla" as a product of the societal climate influenced by Darwin's theories. Consider the following:
How do the behaviors, attitudes, and actions of Stevenson's characters reflect the social environment contemporary to his work?
How is the cultural moment evident in the events of the plot?
Are there any common themes, motifs, or words repeated and emphasized in Stevenson's work?
Why does Stevenson resolve the story the way that he does?
This analysis will require students to develop a critical perspective communicated via thesis and supported by the research they have uncovered in Part 2 of the assignment. Proper MLA documentation and a Works Cited page should be included.
