Mental Library: Lenses: Marxism

Greetings, Friends!

This is a book a teacher I know used to show Marxism.

Today, we are talking about Marxism. The Marxist lens looks at how money and power play into the story. Some questions related to this are: Who has the power? How does that affect the rest of the story?

By the way, this information is coming from my English class. :)

You can use the Marxist lens to:

• Suggest that the author is making specific comments on society
• Use the Marxist lens to explain why something happened
• There are other ways to use the Marxist lens; these are just two

Think of books you might be able to analyze through this lens. Have fun exploring new ideas!
