One of the main themes that we have discussed so far this semester is that of humanity. For this assignment,
Choose two texts that we have read this semester and discuss the way that they engage with this larger question of who is – and who is not – human. Then, craft an argument regarding the reasons that these authors chose to humanize – or dehumanize – the figures that they did.
essay should be around 1200-1500 words and adhere to all MLA style guidelines. Make sure to address the topic specifically and to use evidence (quotes) from the text you choose as well as contextual evidence from the lectures.
