Write an essay about race, identity and the relationship of individuals to the society and world that they live in.
I would like 3-4 pages for the essay. Thank you.
When the Emperor was Divine and The Fire Next Time bring up important questions about race, identity and the relationship of individuals to the society and world that they live in.Using both texts, compare or contrast the characters in the texts using the following prompt:
How does race impact the characters’ identity as Americans? Does it impact the characters in similar or different ways (or some similar and some different)?
To answer this question you will need to define what you mean by “American identity”.What does it mean to “be” American? How do we determine American-ness?
For this essay you must put the two texts in conversation with one another. Each body paragraph should address BOTH texts. It is not acceptable to write one part of the essay about one text and another part about the other text.
