Description

Be sure to explicitly identify and define the theme (e.g. queerness, space travel, violence, sexism, environmentalism, etc.), image or symbol (e.g. androids, astronauts, vampires, zombies, etc.), or the stylistic feature (e.g. free indirect discourse, direct address, slang, first person) and explain why this feature is key to understanding Afrofuturism.

A successful essay will have a strong thesis statement that makes consistent use of textual evidence, informed by close readings and analysis of your points. Lastly, a successful essay will also pay close attention to literary/visual devices and will incorporate a rigorous assessment of these elements throughout.
