Topic Select a short story from our list in which a character experiences a rift and becomes cut off from “home,” whether that home is the character’s birthplace, family, homeland, or other special place. Then write an essay in which you persuade your reader how the character’s experience with exile is both alienating and enriching, and how this experience illuminates the meaning for the work as a whole. Do not merely summarize the plot. This essay should be approximately 500-550 words. Writing about poetry isn’t easy, but these themes are important and touch every one of us. Honesty is important in writing. Work on this so that you can be proud of what you turn in. Read the student essays at the end of the chapters in your textbook for guidance.
