ENG438 Week 3 Discussion 2 - Lynn attempts to explain

ENG438 Disc 2 W 3

Lynn attempts to explain Deconstructionist theory in the following fashion: “If we choose to say one thing, we are leaving out another thing. And there is always a gap, a space in the text, that the reader cannot ultimately fill in” (2018, p. 114). Use this statement to analyze the cartoon on p. 113. How is the caption an example of a Deconstructionist perspective? Explain how you would critique this cartoon using Deconstruction. Support your assertions with clear reasoning and examples.
