Question: Essay Prompt:
Choose any two of our class texts. Compare these two texts by analyzing the presence of marginalized and dominant cultures* in each of the texts. How do they differ between texts? What do they share? What determines one over the other? Be sure to arrive at a conclusion about marginalized and dominant cultures in the United States, based on these two texts.
*Marginalized and dominant cultures are wide-ranging terms. You can define them however you want, so long as your chosen texts support your definition. For example, perhaps these two cultures are determined by sexuality, or religion, or maybe race. Again, let your chosen texts be the foundation for all of your analysis.
