a work of comparative criticism or reflection on a reading
750 words long (about three, double-spaced pages).
Requirement: That it be about:
one work of Latinx
literature
: fiction, nonfiction, or poetry, and…
•
Option A: Compare
the work
to another work of
literature or art (by a writer of any ethnicity). And, in so doing, say something about the Latinx experience, or that of another ethnic group. I will attach 2 reading that I did in this class, but I think you can choose other latino literature.
•
Option B: Relate
the work
to an experience lived by
yourself or someone you know.
How you’ll be graded
•
Originality of argument. (Surprise me, teach me
something I don’t know)
•
Artfulness, intelligence, clarity, emotional power of the
writing.
•
(If you put a lot of thought and time and revision into it,
we’ll be able to see that).
•
(If you just summarize the work, you’ll be graded lower.
If you tell us something about race, ethnicity, power,
you’ll be graded higher).
