Post one unified and coherent paragraph that reflects on the significance of tension in one of the assigned literary works for this week. How does the overall theme or claim within the work illustrate tension within the individual or with his or her community? Analyze the source of the tension and steps taken toward resolution and include a specific textual example of the text to support your claim.
Remember to start with a claim, integrate, cite, interpret, apply and document textual evidence to support your claim. Outside of an anecdote in your introductory paragraph, AVOID ALL personal reflections and focus only on the literary work.
