In an essay of a minimum of 750 words, please address one of the following:
- Compose a literacy narrative in which you introduce yourself as a reader and a writer. For example, you could discuss the challenges you face as a new student to literature and what your fears and hopes are for the course. You could also explore how your reading and/or writing experiences have been important to your life.
- Using specific examples from the story to support your point of view, analyze why Gail Godwin does not provide the unnamed wife, husband, or child with names in “A Sorrowful Woman.” Outside sources are not required, but you may utilize them if you wish.
Essays must be in MLA format.
- The Bedford Handbook provides a guide (MLA Chapters 54–57)
