Naomi Klein describes a world of “fences” that are designed to keep people out and a world of “windows” where people demand to be let in. Zadie Smith writes about a “Dream City” where people “have no choice but to cross borders and speak in tongues” ((252). Consider the views in the two texts and answer the following: As the world becomes closer because of globalization, will people move in the direction of a more open “Dream City” or will people look to erect more “fences” to protect self-interest? Which choice seems more likely or more necessary---- and why ?

I will evaluate your paper by looking at:

1. Your thesis (project) You should express and support your own ideas about the assigned topic and use textual evidence from the readings to help develop and support your claims.

1. Your use of textual evidence and protocols: Choose relevant quotations and examples to further your project. Incorporate key words into your paper by “close reading” quotations.

1. Your organization: Paragraphs should focus on one idea, build upon each other logically, and work toward the development of the total project. Think connectively. Each body paragraph should have a quotation from each writer.

1. Your sentence clarity and correctness: Proofread your essay for spelling and grammatical errors.
