Select one passage from any text we are reading or have read that we have not discussed in class. Do a close reading of the passage, paying careful attention to
what the diction reveals about ethnicity and identity. If possible, connect the language of the passage to parallel or contrasting language elsewhere in the text that has thematic relevance. Please make sure all of the above is connected to a clear, arguable thesis that you have articulated in your opening paragraph. Proofread the paper. The paper will be graded on the quality of your idea, evidence, development of the concept, and, needless to say, clarity of writing.
I look forward to hearing what you have to say about ethnicity, identity, or both.
Make sure to extrapolate from the text to your own ideas for at least a few paragraphs somewhere in the essay. Do not fill your pages with needless quotations. Please follow the 7th edition MLA.
