Apex Hides The Hurt – Colson Whitehead

PROMPT: Your final paper will be dealing with Colson Whitehead’s APEX HIDES THE HURT. In this particular instance, you have the entire novel to talk about. Find a particular idea, theme, symbol, liter-ary device, etc. and track it through the entire novel. Is there an argument that Whitehead is making in his text? What is that argument, in your opinion? How is the argument made? Your paper should be a minimum of 1500 words and include a Works Cited Page (which is NOT included in the word count). Standard MLA rules apply (12pt Times New Roman, double-spaced, etc). Make certain to cite the text when you make your argument. You must also include two outside academic sources (aside from the text of the literary work you are analyzing). Unless submitted to turnitin.com through Canvas by the due date, it will NOT be graded and will count as a zero.
