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.

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.
