Option 1 Prompt
Exit West, along with many of the stories and essays we have read this semester, wrestles with the question of what happens to our identities when we leave home, whether the departure is a displacement, an invasion, or an adventure. In an organized essay, explore the theme of home and identity in Exit West and two other stories or essays we have read this semester. Be sure to discuss the relationship between the texts concerning this theme, and whether the authors support, challenge, or complicate each other. Exit West must be one of the texts. For the other two, choose any of the texts on the syllabus or that we have used for in-class essays (including the diagnostic).
