essay-5-due-9am-november-15
This week we talked about Social Class in America. This is a touchy
subject. Some people might feel anxious when forced to think or talk
about social class. Other people might be fairly un-bothered by the
subject.
You will be given two possible essay topics to write about this next
week. Choose one of them. The two possibilities are:
***ESSAY Option A***
In class on Wednesday, we watched Tammy’s Story:

As you watch this segment, I want you to think carefully about the
following two questions:

another?
2. How does growing up in a particular social class affect one’s self
image and worldview?
For this week’s essay, please write up your responses to those two
questions while using evidence and examples from the video “Tammy’s
Story”
On the document header, please clearly indicate that you are responding
to “Essay A” or “Essay B” and make sure the file you submit is .doc,
