English homework help. 2nd Essay Prompt
April 4th-200 Points. I don’t accept late papers.
 
Gloria Anzaldua’s Borderlands: La Frontera is a personal narrative that is a mix of cultural criticism, summary of history poetry, prose – sometimes all on the same page as hybridity. She focuses on self-identities as Mestiza, Chicana, feminist, and lesbian. Her work is based on borders. In her book, Anzaldua encourages proactive identity as a form of construction, destruction, and reconstruction towards liberations.
 
 
This assignment is an argumentative essay where you will write about yourself as a subject of interest. This first-person narrative is designed for you to identify the multiple ways you function in society. Like Anzaldua, you will critique how you live in the world. You will establish an argument about your identity as student, non-white, white, female, male, gay, class, privilege, passing, immigrant, religious or spiritual person, atheist, agnostic, artist, activist, and any other forms of identity not mentioned here. Consider #RaceAnd to get a sense of how to analyze yourself; then pull quotations from Anzaldua’s text to ground your arguments.
 
 
Again, in this paper, you are required to write in first person “I.” However, the form of the essay still has the four parts: Point, Illustration A, Illustration B, and Explanation, except your point and explanation will be in first person. You will still summarize quotes from the reading, except it is Gloria Anzaldua’s text. Don’t write your essay like you do your homework, however, with the PIE lettering in front of the sentences.
 
 
This essay is not a summary of the reading, so please don’t write Anzaldua’s name in the point or the explanation sections. You will also implement the MLA format. Here is the link to make sure you are clear about the form If you don’t have the MLA format, points will be deducted for each error. Make sure to watch the video and apply the steps to your essay before writing.
