Prompt 1: Interpreter of Maladies
This prompt will help get you thinking about Lahiri’s short stories and your literary analysis. In
many ways, Lahiri explores the idea that identity is defined on a geographical basis. In other
words, she plays with the politics of where people are “from” (ancestral origin). Discuss the
way(s) by which her stories complicate one or a combination of the following (you may focus on
one or multiple stories).
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
Relationship between identity and geographic location
Relationship between identity and home
Difference & sameness
Idea of national and cultural divisions
OR
Prompt 2: General Topic: Globalization and Identity
Whether we like it or not, globalization is a (past & current) reality. Consequently, there will be
more and more people who refuse to identify themselves in terms of nationality (i.e., I am
Iranian). Do you see globalization (i.e., one world community) as a force for good or bad in this
world (i.e., not literally evil, but what I mean to say is do you see it as a negative phenomenon)?
Perhaps think about whether it would homogenize us or make us more inclusive; whether it
might make us more cosmopolitan or feel more culturally rootless; whether it might get rid of
the us/them attitude, or divide people more. Use reason to support your points.
Rubric
Thinking pieces are designed to make you think. This assignment gives you a space to
thoughtfully and critically explore your response to topic/issue. That is, I am interested in the
links, complications, or complexities you identify about the topic/issue. Each thinking piece is
worth 5%.
Please Note: I will not accept hand-written or emailed responses. I will only accept late
reflections with official documentation excusing your absence.
I will grade your thinking pieces according to the following criteria:
Score of 4-5
Demonstrates high-quality exploration (i.e., insightful and thoughtful);
addresses the assigned question, demonstrates that you have done the
required reading, reveals engaged thinking; fulfills the length
requirement.
Score of 3-3.9
Shows evidence of some reflection about the reading and/or issue, but
responses are generalized; lacking in depth; fulfills the length
requirement.
Score of 0-2.9
Shows little or no evidence or reflection about what was read and/or issue
or demonstrates that you have read but your response is overly simplistic;
too superficial; does not fulfill the length requirement.
What constitutes a high-quality “thinking piece”?
• Evidence of dialogic thinking—seeing complexities, finding cruxes and puzzles,
confronting inadequate explanations—I reward students for looking or probing into the
complexity of an issue
• Demonstrates critical engagement; makes independent and thoughtful contributions,
raises intelligent questions; makes interesting connections
• It is generally easy to tell the difference between insightful and superficial.
• The key question is not “how well written is this piece?” but “to what extent does this
thinking piece reveal engaged thinking about this topic/issue?”
• “High-quality” refers to being rewarded for showing the process as much as the product
of thought.
