Reflect upon these readings and write a well-developed, thesis driven essay responding to the following prompt:
Discuss a recent movie, television show or web series that reflects the contemporary attitudes of the people in your life towards wealth and success in America, and explain how the readings in this chapter may inform your own attitude towards work and success.
NOTE: You may use first person for this essay, but don’t rely on anecdotes too much for support. You should not be simply summarizing the readings. Instead, use the articles you read as support for your thesis and use proper paragraph structure.
For this 1200 word (exact count), MLA formatted essay you must use quotes from all of the articles you read, in Rereading America, to support your argument. You must also use research from two outside sources (use the library database, no Wikipedia or a random Google search) in your essay.
Remember: You MUST state a thesis in your introductory paragraph and I will also be looking closely at your paragraph structure and organization, as well as formatting and grammar.
