Questions
Write аn essаy-length respоnse thаt takes up the questiоn belоw. Your response should be five-paragraphs in length at minimum and have an introduction, body, and conclusion. Your body paragraphs should follow the "paraburger" model. However, since this is a closed note exam, I do not expect any direct citation from our works unless those passages are present in the exam itself. Instead, I expect your evidence to reference something in the work rather than quote it directly. Last week we discussed the concept of "double consciousness" in the African American literary tradition. Clearly as a phenomenon it has wider applications. How does W. E. B. Du Bois's concept of double consciousness express itself in both Rankine's Citizen and Olivarez's Citizen Illegal? In your introduction you will want to define the concept of double consciousness and introduce the two works while having a thesis that directly addresses the question above. Spend your first body paragraph discussing the importance of the concept to Citizen, your second body paragraph applying the idea to Citizen Illegal, and your final body paragraph highlighting the difference between the two. Use your conclusion to draw some greater point about double consciousness.
