Assignment guidelines:

The goal of this assignment is to make sure that you are actively and critically engaging with the assigned texts. Rather than summarizing, this is a space for you to develop your own analysis of the material.

Questions it may be helpful to consider in writing your reflection:

• What are the main arguments? Do you find them convincing? Why or why not?
• What points of comparison can you identify among these texts, and how do they relate to one another?
• How do these texts relate to larger themes and topics of the course?
• What questions do these texts bring up for you?

**Please respond to the documentary film in relationship to the Halberstam piece and at least one of the Wilchins essays.
