Literature Essay
Write a 500-750 word essay on one of the following topics. Aim for a 5-paragraph essay structure ( introduction with thesis, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion).
1. Review Mary Rowlandson’s narrative as a faith narrative instead of a capture narrative. If instead of
viewing the work as an attempt to tell the true story of a capture, it is read as a reaffirmation of faith
in God, how does that change the meaning?
2. Discuss the idea of the Reliable Narrator in one of the authors read up until this point. Use specific
examples from outside sources and the text to show why it should or should not be believed that this author
is reliable.
3. Think about this rather surprising statement: It has been suggested that Olaudah Equiano may not have
been born in Africa, but in South Carolina. If this were true, does his birthplace change the way we read
and evaluate this memoir? Does this possibility affect its viability or reliability as a source on slavery
and the slave trade?
4. Compare or contrast two individuals from weeks one through four who best illuminate important themes
of America during the time period covered. Define the themes you’ll write about, and then discuss what
precisely in the writing defines those themes. Discuss these themes as they relate to current day approach
or understanding.
