Lydia Allen Rudd

Write an essay in which you respond to Lydia Allen Rudd’s diary by discussing how in your view the diary reveals her optimism as well as the grimness of the journey in both its content and format. Looking at the entries (and the lapses in entries) how does her prose demonstrate the good and bad moments of the journey? In addition to the content, your essay should consider the length, tone, and detail of the entries or their brevity and omission. Look at the dates of the entries and the lapses: what assumptions can you argue as to why she is not writing? What comes through the lines and “between the lines” of this diary? Find those examples that you find most compelling to demonstrate your argument. Be sure to integrate brief quotations from the diary into your paper to demonstrate your points and to cite them accurately using the page numbers that are printed on the pages of the diary, which is on Bb.
