ASSIGNMENT 2
We have seen how Lev Tolstoi had specific opinions about popular literature and sought to shape a new kind of writing for the masses. Tolstoi also wrote children’s stories, and a book of such stories has been enclosed with this assignment.
What can we learn about Tolstoi’s definition of children’s literature and its objective from these stories? Read any three stories in the book and write a thousand-word essay on this topic, quoting and explaining specific examples from your selected stories to demonstrate each point in your argument.
(Note: 1. Write in full sentences and paragraphs. This is an essay, so no bullet-points.
2. Do not summarise the plot because that adds nothing new. Your response is expected to focus on your own thoughts and analysis, supported by evidence from the text.
3. Please make sure you submit the correct document. No other submissions will be graded.)
