Topic: React to 4 works in list of readings
Select 4 works read in class and discuss your reaction as a reader to those works. If you select multiple narratives, be prepared to demonstrate some relationship among the works. How did they impact you and why? Was your reaction primarily emotional or intellectual? Give specific examples from the narrative(s). Take care not to simply retell the narrative(s); but rather, examine and analyze your reaction(s) to them in detail.
Finally, be sure to credit any sources that you use as background or cite in the body of your paper.
