Directions:
Write an essay that answers each open-ended question listed above. The paper should begin with an introduction that includes a thesis statement stating what you plan to argue. The conclusion should not summarize information from the body of the paper, but give concluding ideas or predictions about what your analysis of this memoir tells us about immigrant-citizen relations today.
The entire paper should be free of spelling and grammatical errors. The font size and style should be legible and easy to read (preferably 12-point font, Times New Roman). This assignment must be completed individually and written in your own words. If you use quotes or paraphrase sentences from a secondary source (e.g., book, article, documentary), then cite these sources in the text according to the Chicago Manual of Style. If you knowingly commit plagiarism of someone else’s work, then you will automatically receive a failing grade for the assignment.
