The essay:
For this assignment, you must construct an argumentative thesis to present your point about an issue present in the novel.

Marxist criticism:
How does Gaiman present the economic forces of the city?
How does Gaiman address socioeconomic difference?

Despite their popularity, graphic novels are still considered on the fringe of literature. How might you assert that graphic novels like this one are worth critical consideration? This topic will require that you reference at least one other graphic novel along with your other two critical sources.
formalism:
How does Gaiman use the narrative technique of storytelling to reinforce a particular point about relationships, truth or what he refers to in the first chapter as “the reality storm”?
