Description
This assignment is designed to allow you to explore a reading from the course in more depth or research and learn about a new piece (you need to seek my approval) of literature from the modern or postmodern period. We will be reading a variety of pieces from a variety of authors. Throughout the term, we will be asking essentially the same question: "How does his modern piece of literature help us understand identity?" You should choose one piece of literature from this term or chose a new piece and explore that question with the help of at least three secondary sources.
The paper should be a full 3-4 double-spaced pages (no less than 1000 words) with proper in-text citations and a Works Cited page formatted according to current MLA guidelines. Be sure to carefully credit your sources, although you want to quote sparingly and paraphrase when possible.

between the novel and the modern identity.
It should be noted that the essay does not seek to talk about Africa and its darkness as is
presented in the novel, but rather, a generalization of the critical allusions that the book creates,
especially regarding the identity that the writer brings to himself, the women, some characters
and the geographical areas in which the setting of the novel takes place. For starters, it would not
be surprising that most people in Western countries have the least idea about Africa, and most of
their judgment is based on exotic beliefs that they have read r acquired through inaccurate media
houses. Perhaps, it would be worth to start by mentioning that the African continent has been one
