Essay # 1 assignment details can be found here (or click on link at top of blog). Please email me with questions. Also — see reading/response assignment for this week below.
For Wednesday, please read:
- Christina Rossetti, “Goblin Market” (come prepared to discuss in class)
- Judith Cofer – “Beans: An Apologia For Not Loving To Cook” (handout) & “The Story of My Body” (emailed to you)
For Friday, please read:
- Mora, Pat. “Legal Alien” & “La Migra”
- Morales, Aurora Levins. “Child of the Americas” (emailed to you)
For this blog response, please discuss the ways in which Cofer, Mora, and Morales explore the relationships between ethnicity and the body within their writing. This is a free-writing exercise, so there are no particular questions to respond to, but be sure to take note of any similarities and/or differences, whether in theme, context, or style. Compare and contrast these pieces of work (and be sure to touch upon at least two of the four pieces) while writing your response.
