Description
Write a 1000- word response to the primary question. How do family traditions and cultural legacies contribute to and/or inhibit an individual’s self-identity? What do you know about your family history? How is this history shared, and how is it valued among individual family members? Beyond its literal meaning, what are the broader implications of the cliche' "keeping the family name alive"? Or has this cliche' outlived its validity? For ex. Walker's "Everyday Use", Rich's "Delta" and Kelley's "The people in Me". Drawing on evidence from several readings and your own experience and observations, write a claim of value argument about an aspect of family heritage and individual identity.
