In this essay, you will be using both inductive and deductive techniques to analyze a text within the context of a specific genre (science fiction). Your goal is to examine how the written techniques of the text (diction, syntax, figurative language, etc.) help construct an argument related to a specific science-fiction convention (alien invasion, AI, time-travel, etc.). Note that some stories will center on multiple conventions – your essay, though, should only focus on one convention unless your argument shows how multiple conventions intersect to prove a point.
Your process will be deductive in so far as you should first decide upon a convention and then gather evidence related to that specific convention. Your process will be inductive in so far as you should then use that evidence to develop a specific claim about how the story is using that convention to make a point.
As with any essay, you should follow a CEA structure, providing and analyzing evidence.
