Order Description
This essay asks you to make an argument (which you may want to underline for your reader) and to use at least four examples to support your argument. Be sure to explain and analyze the connections you are making between your examples and to explain how they support your argument. Your essay should cite at least two different readings. All of your examples can come from our course lectures/readings and can be films, books, songs, political cartoons, paintings, music videos, poems, scholarly articles, etc.
A number of texts that we have investigated so far in class prompt us to consider how perceptions of the nation change depending on who we perceive to be at the center of the nation. In your essay, focus on one metaphor or framework of the nation (for example the melting pot, mosaic/quilt, frontier, empire, conquest, borderland, settler-colonialism, etc.) and analyze what values this vision of nation celebrates. Whose voices are included? Whose voices are left out?
You can only use the reference in the attachment. You do not need to find any conference outside the attachment.
