Select one of the readings from this unit and write an essay of analysis. In your introductory paragraph, you will need to present a claim that references a central idea (an overall message about the text that you wish to convey). To support your claim, use your understanding of the conventions (or context if you take that route) related to the text. For example, what does an understanding of certain conventions of Native American creation stories found in Hajn reveal about Native American Tradition?
