Literary theory: Think about the 'plot' of your conspiracy theory.
Analyze your theory as if it was a story, written by an author. Does the narrative of your conspiracy theory follow the structure of any traditional myths and legends?
• good vs. evil:
• the big guy trying to crush the little guy;
• the little man against the gods;
• gods disguised as mortals;
• a secret pantheon of gods (it on Mount Olympus) who manipulate our lives;
• heroes disguised as ordinary people;
• the good Ling murdered for political reasons.
Analyze your conspiracy theory in terms of its similarities to mythological structures such as the ones listed above or any others you may find in your research. Name a specific ancient story to which your theory can be compared.
Note: the following (brief) components should also be included in your essay:
1) Discuss your icon's consumer applications- discuss. for example. how your conspiracy theory has become a brand,' used to sell posters. t-shirts, and other merchandise (e.g. people who believe that Area st is where the US government back-engineers UFOs like to wear alien T-shirts, watch TV shows like Roswell and the X-Files, and buy video games like Area 5f).
2) Provide only very brief historical background on the 'story' or 'plot' of your conspiracy. You should concentrate more on your analysis (parts 2 and 3 of the assignment).
3) Discuss briefly (in about rso words) your personal opinion of the conspiracy theory and its impact on your own life and consciousness. How has this theory been an influence on your own beliefs. Do you agree or disagree with the theory? Use the word "I.' and reflect on your thoughts and beliefs.
4) Your report should be well-structured, with a clear introduction paragraph (containing thesis and preview; the preview sentence previews your entire report -it 'these are the methods! will use in order to analyze this theory), a 'body section containing the four analytic methods you have chosen, and a conclusion containing a recap of your research and your final thoughts on the subject. For clarity, the use of subtitles, to indicate different sections of the report. is required.
