For your essay answer the following questions:
– In your view, is there a distinct separation between private and public culture as Richard Rodriguez suggests?
– As well, as “educated” college students should we be searching for more than what we have at home?
– Does the foundation that our families provide supersede that which society and our peers expect of us?
– Are we often not armed with enough information/formation to deal with what the “public” expects of us?
– Should we be able to break away from our families and live the life we want without consideration for those things we’ve been taught and the people who taught them to us?
Use at least 2 quotes/references from the stories we’ve shared in class as examples to support your views: (“Aria,” “The Lesson”) Don’t only use one story, try to use something from each story.
Essay should be 2-3 page essay – typed, double spaced
