WHAT WE DID IN CLASS: We discussed how to further develop arguments about the symbols and motifs in Native Son, and I handed back the timed essays from Thursday.
HOMEWORK: Revise your timed essay. Here is the prompt, in case you forgot: Choose one symbol or motif that you discussed and analyzed with the class. Then write a well-developed essay with a clear argument describing the meaning and purpose of Wright's use of this symbol or motif, showing how it enriches his central message. You should have an introductory paragraph that grabs the reader's attention and body paragraphs that use direct evidence from the book and fully develop your argument with thoughtful analysis.
