Instructions: Choose one of the following subjects, and create a well-focused analytical essay that makes thoughtful and productive connections among any TWO of our assigned course readings that you have NOT considered previously in a formal writing assignment. Your essay's argument must proceed from a narrowly-defined thesis statement that gets the two texts "talking" to one another via three points of comparison that elaborate on a meaningful connection between the two pieces of literature (i.e., a common concern, theme, or question). All of your observations, claims, and conclusions must be supported by thoughtful and direct analysis of sufficient and appropriate textual evidence from the two literary texts1. Compare and contrast the ways in which any two texts consider the influence of the family on one's sense of individual identity.2. Compare and contrast the ways in which any two texts address the idea of taking pride in one's heritage and/or one's personal or family history.3. Compare and contrast the ways in which any two texts critique marriage and/or attempt to redefine this institution.
