Wiki+Make-Up+Assignment

This is for everyone that has not turned in a permision slip.

Directions: Write a one page comparison or contrast paper that includes a well developed argument about a work by your specific artist and the essay "How it Feels to be Colored Me" by Zora Neale Hurston (page 679 in the literature book). Be sure to critique the thematic ideas of the two artists. Also, make sure that you use textual evidence from Hurston and your artist (biographical for Douglas).

Prompt: How does your artist's philosophy on race relations during the time period of the Harlem Renaissance relate to Hurston's focus on the individual as being either, 1) more personally relevant than the community, or 2) part of one coherant American unit, regardless of race? (Choose one of Hurston's two beliefs to debate.)
