Upcoming Dates to remember: Nov. 11 Movie essay due (all), Nov. 18 Honor’s Essay on Mother Lake, Dec. 2 Creative writing assignment (all)
Honor's Essay question: In a 2003 interview with Alice Walker (author of The Color Purple) in People Magazine, Walker listed Leaving Mother Lake as one of her all-time favorite books. Walker said that Namu’s childhood experiences in a remote Chinese village reminded her of what it was like growing up in the South. Write an essay in which you agree and disagree with this statement. In what way(s) is Namu’s culture similar to yours? In what way(s) it is entirely different? In your conclusion, explain how societies can develop such radically different, yet seemingly successful, traditions. The only source you need for this essay is the book, Leaving Mother Lake.
