● How do the 2 characters support your argument about othering and how it is expressed in the stories you chose? How do the characters change throughout the course of the stories, and how does this change them (if at all) through the plot/s? Describe the characters at the end of the story. Use evidence from the stories themselves (primary sources) to prove your points about the characters.
● Use your secondary source/s to provide further proof of your argument. When citing someone, tell your reader why they should listen to that person. Tell your reader something about the quoted writer to establish him or her as an expert or an authority. This gives your writing ethos.
● How does the author use rhetorical strategies to convince the reader? Things like metaphor, diction, and other literary strategies. Were they effective? Include your secondary source in this section to add ideas about othering.
Write a synthesis explaining how one character in the short story from your book is a victim of ‘othering.’ You will
need to provide a definition of othering, explore where this term comes from, and why it continues to exist. The
stories from displaced people along with secondary sources are already in Blackboard/Content Folders.
In synthesis writing, your thesis statement presents a clear and arguable thesis. Your pieces of evidence are
relevant quotations (or cited, paraphrased ideas) from the texts that prove your thesis.
