“Narratives and the Nation: Exploring Fiction and Non-Fiction Works in Relation to Social and Political Contexts”

Hello!
Please edit my essay by:
-fitting the prompt (make sure it answers and covers everything, include key words)
-making sure quotes are used and analyzed the best way (change, add or remove if needed, id prefer if you added quotes or analysis, or nothing, not remove as the professor loves quotes for evidence) 
-change the in text citations: (…, p. …) to (…, Page ….)
-make it fit the word counts (3500 words)
-humanize it where it sounds like AI as I have used ChatGPT to write it (submit it through turn it in and AI detector once done)
-you can rearrange and do whatever, just make sure to keep the content
Here is the essay prompt:
The premise of this course is that ‘narratives’ (defined in a very broad sense) are critical to ‘imagining’ and ‘disseminating’ and possibly also ‘deconstructing’ the nation. For your final term paper identify two works – one fictional and one non-fictional – that can be related to this theme and critically explore them within the following parameters.
1.    Both the works need to be from a single context so that they can be related to each other. The works can be from any genre – film, theater, text (prose or poetry).
2.    Both works need to be ‘substantial’ – substance here does not necessarily mean length but should have significance in relation to the broad theme outlined above and should have the potential to yield an insightful discussion.
3.    It is expected that you will do research in to the works you have selected and reference their social and political context and history. There needs to be evidence that you consulted secondary sources (such sources can be a range of things – books, academic articles, newspaper articles, blog entries and even discussion on social media).
4.    As in the second presentation you completed for this course, you are expected to critically explore the “performative” as aspects of the texts you chose. How do they “imagine” the nation? What allusions and metaphors do they deploy? What are the “aesthetic” qualities of the texts? How to they figuratively imagine the nation? This is not an extensive list but simply a set of prompts to get you thinking.
5.    You are also welcome to explore how the these texts/narratives might also be demonstrating ways of thinking ‘beyond the nation’. In other words how they might be imagining ways of being in the world that are not limited to an exclusively national framework. 
6.    This assignment will be judged primarily on your ability to build a cogent and logical extended argument and therefore the written essay must clearly be structured and organized.
