How does Citizen as a text query and challenge the idea of what it means to be a “citizen”?

• Select 1 specific image from Part I of Sula, and discuss its significance.

• Write a brief response to Grizzly Man focusing on how Herzog represents the human/animal boundary by pointing to 1 specific example/scene in the film.

• Write a 1-page story emulating Justin Torres’ style (diction, prosody, sentence structure, tone, themes, voice, point-of-view, etc. …whatever is relevant to your story). If you are stuck, let the story within Torres’ novella prompt you to write about a story from your life, but since this is fiction, find a way to walk that border / take freedoms with fictionalizing the personal. I am looking to see how your critical investment in the novella is conveyed through your creative piece.

Read entirety of Fun Home. Select 1 scene and analyze it closely (image and language) as a way of discussing its broader significance to the text as a whole. Situate your analysis within a framed claim (question) you’re asserting about the text. 1 page, single-spaced. Please post here by Noon, 3/5.

Write 1 poem in response to a poem from all of the readings, and post here. Your poetic response may take the form of a dialogue, an epistle (to the poet), an imitation (stylistic or linguistic), or may just be inspired in some way, even if not directly obvious, as an aesthetic offspring. If you’re stuck, you may select a favorite line from that poem and use it to begin your own poem or as the title of your poem (of course, giving credit).
