I just need to make a connection and explain the readings (SHERMAN ALEXIE: SUPERMAN AND ME) (AMY TAN: MOTHER TONGUE) can be anything you wish but can’t be too general must do close reading.. Although you must have primary sources from author, and AUTHORITATIVE SECONDARY sources (3-5 secondary sources). No personal accounts or examples. Close-reading of the primary text, making points about the importance of the symbolic details (theme, setting, characters, colors, wording, etc.) Make a point then have a quote/citation from the primary text or have a quote/citation from a secondary quotes. But don’t do back to back quotes! Explain every quote and why its important. Focus on a specific angle/perspective.
