Leads: Gabriella F., Tiffany P.
Reading
- Richard Rodriguez, “Aria: A Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood” (Oates 447–466)
Notes
Questions:
- What is the thrust of Rodriguez’s argument?
- Does the personal nature of his essay make his argument more or less persuasive?
- Do you agree or disagree with his argument?
I have placed 2 copies of “Death and Texas” (Thursday’s assigned reading) on reserve at the library; I hope you will have access to it if you want to read it before Tuesday!
The requirements for essay 1 are available.
