How do the texts of the semester (When I Was Puerto Rican; the poems of Julia de Burgos; The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao; Monkey Hunting) represent various aspects of society and culture in each respective country? Of special note, after our many discussions, what is the function and place of race, ethnicity, gender and class in these texts? Give specific examples.
Feel free to combine the questions; explore; think outside of the box; and be original. Develop your ideas with examples (short quotes) from the reading to prove your assertions. Answer all questions fully. Relevant details, logically presented, along with originality and effort will produce an excellent grade.
