Write an argumentative essay about the significance of one or more gods in Alexis’ Fifteen Dogs. For example, you might investigate the role of a particular god in the plot, debate the relationship between the gods and the dogs (and/or humans), or make an argument that one or more gods demonstrate hypocrisy or transgress moral codes. (Be careful with that last one: you would first need to establish the morals being transgressed.)
Suggested vocabulary: anthropomorphism, binary system, liminality, metaphor, symbol, the uncanny
