The texts that we’ve discussed in this class have all been broadly themed around the intersection of place and cultural or personal identity. In your final essay, you will exploring how identity (cultural, political, personal, or any combination of these) is shaped by place–or how the experience of a place is shaped by identity–in at least one of the works that we’ve discussed this semester. This can be a novel, short story, poem, or movie.
- Your paper is a close reading. Same drill as your first essay: pick a short passage or scene from a text, annotate that passage, and argue for what this passage reveals about the intersection of place and identity in the text.
Double spaced, 4-5 pages, 12 point college-appropriate font.
