Problem
a) How is Lydia Davis's fiction both a continuation of and a reaction against the fiction of Don DeLillo? Discuss and use examples from both authors in the explanation.
b) How does Sherman Alexie blend Native American traditions and popular culture in his works? What stereotypes does he use? To what effect?
c) The two daughters in Alice Walker's "Everyday Use" have vastly different concepts of their culture or heritage. How do they differ? How does Walker use this idea to make her point? What is her point?
