Reading response

profileLilyPhan9

 

Read  excerpts from Tan's "Two Kinds" and Sedaris' "Me Talk Pretty."  Write a  healthy paragraph response to each question (approx. 1/3, not exceeding  1/2 page each). Integrate and explicate words/quotes/scenes from the  text to support each response. Follow MLA format. Edit word choice.   (Read words to avoid, and study a list of active verbs). You do not  need to type the prompts, only your responses.

1.  Discuss the similarities in the messages the authors are conveying.

2.  Identify symbols and themes in both texts and discuss their significance in relation to the texts as a whole.

3.  Compare the similarities in the texts and how language shaped the authors' personal experiences.
