Part 1: Choose ONE of the Creative Non-Fiction essays that we read in this submodule.
Then briefly (2-3 sentences) identify how your chosen essay connects to one of the themes in the Themes in Literature page:
- Love
- Alienation/Otherness
- The American Dream/Nightmare
- The Quest for Identity/Coming of Age
- Conformity/Rebellion
Part 2: In 150-200 words, write your own original, personal Creative Non-Fiction narrative based on the same thesis or theme that you identified in the essay you chose above. Be creative and use this opportunity to connect events in your own life to an aspect of the work you chose above (For example, if you focused on the theme of nonconformity in this week’s reading, in your own narrative you might describe a time when you yourself did not conform.)
