SIGNS OF LIFE IN THE USA:
Final Essay Paper: (600-800 words) - Due June 3rd
You are free to write a longer piece, if you are so inspired.
Please respond to the following prompt:
Support, challenge, or complicate Greg Andrew's statement in Alfred Lubrano's "The Shock of Education: How College Corrupts" (531) that "every bit of learning takes you further from [home]" (para. 1)
Your response should include an introduction with a thesis, focused body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Other than reading Lubrano's essay in our textbook Signs of Life, the writing prompt is asking you to reflect on your educational experiences and observations--there are no right or wrong responses. By now you know I always push for specific examples as opposed to generalized statements. Relax, enjoy the writing process, and ask me if you have questions.
