Writing Prompts:
- In Amy Tan's narrative essay "Fish Cheeks," the writer describes a time when she was ashamed of her culture and ethnicity. Write a narrative essay (modeled after Tan's) about a time when you were ashamed of being different. What was the cause of your shame? Has your perspective changed since that experience?
- In Sarah Vowell's narrative essay "Shooting Dad," the writer presents her father's views and interests as antithetical to her own. In the end, Vowell realizes that she and her father are more alike than she'd thought. Write a narrative essay (modeled after Vowell's) about your trying/difficult relationship with a friend or family member. How did the two of you eventually find common ground? What did you learn about yourself from this relationship?
