In four (full) to five (max) pages, present a thesis through the process of comparing and contrasting two subjects. Support your thesis with at least three points, conveyed through a clear pattern of organization. We’ll go over the various patterns of organization in the modules. Here is the prompt:
Identity and society: compare and contrast the ideas of Gloria Anzaldua’s “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” to your own life, experiences, or ideas on identity. How do you relate, if you do? What is different? How has society in the Rio Grande Valley changed? Has it? Use Anzaldua’s essay as your primary source.
You must have a thesis statement, produce a clearly organized essay that either follows point by point or subject by subject organization, and you must use and respond to at least three quotes from Gloria Anzaldua’s essay that are properly cited in MLA format.
Review the Essay Guidelines below. A general outline of comparison & contrast style will be shared in the next module.
