In Sherman Alexie’s essay, he talks about his experience with education. In the video lecture, I approached how to read the essay with a few rhetorical strategies in place. I want you to answer the following: How did Alexie grow up? (5) What is Alexie’s relationship with education? How was his relationship with the other students in his class? Provide specific examples. (5) Does he feel a sense of belonging in his community or is his treated like an outsider? Provide details.(5) How does the title connect to the beginning and the end of the essay? (5) What strategies are used to do a close reading of the text in the essay as mentioned in the video lecture that Alexie utilizes? (20 points) Rather than simply answering each question in order, construct an essay where you discuss these ideas and incorporate the significance of the text. Specify the author and the title of the work and provide a thoughtful analysis to its theme and representation. Provide as much textual support as possible (you are not quoting from the text as this is an exam) and make sure you adhere to an essay format. This is a formal essay and you are writing for an academic environment, so refrain from using any informal language. Word Count: 600-700 words Aim for an introduction and 2-3 body paragraphs. You can have a concluding sentence or two, but it doesn’t need to be a whole paragraph.
