Additionally, your draft should include both interesting, experimental ideas and support your claims with specific passages and quotations from the relevant texts.

1   Select at least two chapters in Einstein's Dreams and explain how the construction of space and time in these chapters refutes "Newtonian narrative" and promotes what Donald Ault calls "narrative excesses."  Use Kaku, Meinong, and/or Hawking to further explain how the construction of space and time in your selected section of Einstein's Dreams refutates a "single vision."
 
 

2    Select one text from this unit and explain how the text both reveals and conceals desires.  Use the terminology developed by Freud in "On Dreams" and "Ego and Id"--including condensation, displacement, dramatization, repression (censorship), and/or guilt--to explain any of the following literary phenomena as psychological manifestations of desires and thwarted desires:
"narrative excesses" (transformations, discrepancies, inconsistencies, gaps), use of voice(s), metaphors and images, word choice, and the architecture of the text (how it is laid out in sections, use of spatial directions, development or lack of development in the story line).
Write on whatever passage you want.  The following are some passages with potential for an interesting psychoanalytic reading:
Part One of Kubla Khan    Part Two of Kubla Khan   From Prufrock   From Digging   From Nutting
 

3    Select a text from this unit and expalin how Nietzsche's Genealogy can be used to read against the moral values of a society.  How do terms used by Nietzsche such as guilt, repression, resentment, will, good-bad vs. good-evil help illuminate the struggle of values taking place in the text.
 
 

4   Juxtipose specific passages of the surrealist or futurist theory and and specific surrealist or futurist paintings with the desire of mechanization to control humans as described by Marx and Engel, Taylor, and Lang.
