1) “Complexion,” by Richard Rodriguez, and “Drown,” by Junot Diaz deal with the theme of education and identity. Compare how Rodriguez, Teo, and the narrator of “Drown” view education in relation to their identities. With whose view of education do you MOST identify? Explain why, using support from the two essays, ONE OUTSIDE SOURCE, and your own life.
Use of outside source:
The source must connect the assignment’s theme of education, and can touch on the topics of education and class, gender, race, immigration, age, etc. It must be relevant to either one of the two readings, “Complexion” and “Drown,” or your own experience as related to education. The best source is a research article from a peer-reviewed academic journal. (See the library instruction video to explain and clarify what a peer-reviewed journal and article are.) But you can use a nonfiction book, a chapter in a nonfiction book, or a news article from a periodical like The Economist, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal or another respected news source). You can also use a government website (.gov) or educational site (.edu). YOUR SOURCE SHOULD INCLUDE SOME KIND OF DATA (FACTS AND FIGURES) OR RESEARCH. Do NOT use Wikipedia, a blog, or most sites that ends in .com (ask if not sure). Do not use a work of fiction (novel or story) and most memoirs are not good either unless it includes data and research. You should approve your source(s) with me first or there is a chance you will NOT receive credit for the source if it is not deemed acceptable. Please review the library link to instructional YouTube videos on credible sources, library research tools, and citation format (you don’t need to look at APA style, which is for social sciences but not English and literature courses). You need only one or two sentences from this outside source. Make sure you attribute the source using MLA parenthetical citation format and NOT APA style, which is for social sciences not English or the humanities.
Below are the works cited for the assigned texts. YOU MUST INCLUDE A WORKS CITED FOR YOUR RESEARCH ARTICLE–LOOK AT HANDOUT AND YOUTUBE VIDEO FOR HELP. ALSO CAN TRY BIBME.COM
