Essay #1: What’s this story all about?
The short stories in unit one were written by diverse women of color, yet they explore some of
the same topics and we could even argue that they share similar themes.
PROMPT: In this short essay, you will identify the theme of ONE selected short story
and analyze the literary devices that reveal and support that theme.
Your essay will be graded on (1) the strength of argument, (2) the specificity of your thesis,
and (3) your use of textual evidence (this includes your selection of quotes and your analysis
of them).
Minimum Word Count: 1,250 words
In addition to writing your essay, you are required to include a self-reflection.
SELF-REFLECTION INSTRUCTIONS
● Write in complete sentences and paragraphs (not a list).
● Write at least 250 words.
● Place your self-evaluation at the end of your essay as a new paragraph under the title
“Self-Reflection.” Don’t forget the word count for the self-reflection!
● **Note: Your essay will be returned ungraded if your self-reflection is not written in
paragraph form or if you do not include it at all. Your essay will be considered late until
you resubmit your essay and reformatted self-reflection.
PLEASE TELL ME THE STORY OF HOW YOU WROTE YOUR ESSAY
(in paragraph form)

right after you take them off; when buying cotton to make yourself a nice blouse, be sure that it doesn’t have gum in it,
because that way it won’t hold up well after a wash; soak salt sh overnight before you cook it; is it true that you sing
benna in Sunday school?; always eat your food in such a way that it won’t turn someone else’s stomach; on Sundays try to walk like
a lady and not like the slut you are so bent on becoming; don’t sing benna in Sunday school; you mustn’t speak to wharf-rat boys,
not even to give directions; don’t eat fruits on the street— ies will follow you; but I don’t sing benna on Sundays at all and never in
Sunday school; this is how to sew on a button; this is how to make a buttonhole for the button you have just sewed on; this is how to
hem a dress when you see the hem coming down and so to prevent yourself from looking like the slut I know you are so bent on
becoming; this is how you iron your father’s khaki shirt so that it doesn’t have a crease; this is how you iron your father’s khaki pants
so that they don’t have a crease; this is how you grow okra—far from the house, because okra tree harbors red ants; when you are
growing dasheen, make sure it gets plenty of water or else it makes your throat itch when you are eating it; this is how you sweep a
corner; this is how you sweep a whole house; this is how you sweep a yard; this is how you smile to someone you don’t like too
much; this is how you smile to someone you don’t like at all; this is how you smile to someone you like completely; this is how you
set a table for tea; this is how you set a table for dinner; this is how you set a table for dinner with an important guest; this is how
you set a table for lunch; this is how you set a table for breakfast; this is how to behave in the presence of men who don’t know you
very well, and this way they won’t recognize immediately the slut I have warned you against becoming; be sure to wash every day,
even if it is with your own spit; don’t squat down to play marbles—you are not a boy, you know; don’t pick people’s owers—you
might catch something; don’t throw stones at blackbirds, because it might not be a blackbird at all; this is how to make a bread
pudding; this is how to make doukona; this is how to make pepper pot; this is how to make a good medicine for a cold; this is how
to make a good medicine to throw away a child before it even becomes a child; this is how to catch a sh; this is how to throw back
a sh you don’t like, and that way something bad won’t fall on you; this is how to bully a man; this is how a man bullies you; this is
how to love a man, and if this doesn’t work there are other ways, and if they don’t work don’t feel too bad about giving up; this is
how to spit up in the air if you feel like it, and this is how to move quick so that it doesn’t fall on you; this is how to make ends
meet; always squeeze bread to make sure it’s fresh; but what if the baker won’t let me feel the bread?; you mean to say that after all you
are really going to be the kind of woman who the baker won’t let near the bread? ♦
