*Discussion responses must be posted through CANVAS ONLY, on or before their specified due date and time – not emailed or direct messaged to me a few minutes after the deadline due to an “upload error”; they will not be read. Also, if you’re struggling, please do NOT wait until the last minute (day of, day before due date, etc.) to reach out. *I am here to help to ensure your success, so let’s work together if you need help answering these questions.

For discussion responses, all students must first read Psychoanalytic Criticism on pages 11-50 of Critical Theory Today by Lois Tyson (Links to an external site.)and “Care” by Julie Orringer. (Links to an external site.) Next, please respond to the two (2) posted questions below. **Students are to respond with at least eight (8) complete sentences for EACH response, and must answer BOTH posted questions to be considered for full credit. In addition, please number your responses to showcase clear connection to the two posted questions. Dig deeply within the texts (no outside sources are to be used to respond – just use the short story and the theory to make connections and to support your ideas) and read thoughtfully – I want to see how everyone connects their responses to the theory that corresponds with “Care.”

1. What does “Care” suggest about the psyche of its main character, Tessa? Please explain in detail.
