Prompt 1: Personal identity is often shaped by emotions, self-perception, views of the world, and familial or societal expectations. Choose a narrator and analyze the forces that challenge the character’s identity and explain how these forces illuminate the meaning of the work as a whole (central idea).
Prompt 2: Personal narratives often depict individuals caught between colliding cultures -- national, regional, ethnic, religious, or institutional. Such collisions can call a person’s sense of identity into question. Select a text in which the narrator responds to such a cultural collision. Then evaluate the individual’s response and explain its relevance to the work as a whole (central idea).
