Jeanette™s relationship to her mother

Prompt: Is Jeanette Wintersons novel, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, a work of modern myth that features a modern day hero? For your second essay, you will do a Mythopoeic reading by applying the Heros Journey structure to Wintersons novel. You will look at the ways in which the novel meets the criteria of the Heros Journey and present an analysis that shows the novel is or has characteristics of a classical myth. 

Chosen Plot Line: Jeanette’s relationship to her mother

Notes: – Assume that the audience for your essay has not read the novel or is familiar with Campbells mythic structure, which means youll have to explain certain things to your readers as you move through your analysis.
– When applying the Heros Journey to the novel, look at the 12 stages of the hero and find connections to the novel that fit well. One difficulty you may face is you may find a number of different examples from the book that fit with a certain stage in the heros journey. In that situation, you have to choose which one to focus on. 

– The challenge of this assignment is to see how well you can take the information in a novel and selectively shape it into a story that meets the criteria set by the Heros Journey structure.
– You may find trying to fit all 12 of the stages of the heros journey difficult to fit into a 5-6 page paper, so you are not expected to apply all 12 stages. However, you are expected to apply at least 8 stages from the Heros Journey. 

– Lastly, be sure to address the question of whether Wintersons novel is an example of a modern myth with a modern hero. Explain your reason based on your analysis. 

Requirements: Essay Length 6-7 pages (going over is fine for this assignment)

Theme Located in the introduction (usually at the end) and states the central point of your essay. Mainly, youre answering the question of whether the novel is a work of myth.

Some strategies on how you can apply the stages selectively: 

  1. Lump together some of the consecutive stages, such as stages 2 and 3 in a single paragraph and compress both into a single example from the novel. Of course, you would have to explain that you are compressing two different stages and then show how both stages apply to the one example you’re using. I wouldn’t abuse this strategy, because there are some stages that just can’t be combined.
  2. Focus on a select number of stages in your analysis of the novel and not every single one.  Remember that the cycle is divided into 4 sections, where each section is made up of roughly 3-4 stages. The ones I think are extremely important to have in your essay, are the stages that cross thresholds. For instance, stage 5, stage 8, and stage 10 are all points where the hero crosses into a new threshold and these are 3 you should definitely have.
  3. Lastly, you must focus on at least 8 of the 12 stages.  You can focus on more if you feel it is necessary, but no less than 8.
