Essay Question Using at least three of the assigned readings…
Essay Question Using at least three of the assigned readings we went over this semester (not the author biographies), discuss the theme of identity, especially in relation to the world you currently live in. You should explore the meaning of the idea, the importance of it as part of the American identity, and why and/or how you think we should talk about it today. You must use specific examples from at least three texts (summary and paraphrase is fine, so long as you highlight details) AND connections to specific modern real world issues and events (can be personal or non-personal). At least one of the readings should be from this last group of authors, but feel free to use readings from the beginning for the other two as well if you’d like. This should be at least three paragraphs.
