How personal trauma can enable the development of personal agency and identity

Task: Pick something SMALL and manageable in scope and scale to write about for the story you chose. Think a symbol, a pattern (ex: use of water imagery or diction related to animals) that you can focus on. Write a tightly crafted 3-page essay examining how these stylistic choices make meaning in the text. Think about how you can synthesize (put in conversation) the ideas of your writer with the themes and style of Their Eyes Were Watching God.
