Read the two essays attached to this assignment: Cofers A Partial Remembrance of a Puerto Rican Childhood and AngelousSister Flowers. In a post of approximately 300 words identify what each pieces thesis is using the skills that we discussed in Week 1. Please note that we are not identifying the TOPIC; that was identified for you in the introduction to this week and we arent discussing whathappensin the essay or what itsabout. Rather you should identify the point that each essay is making about its topic. In addition to boiling down the thesis of each piece you should cite specific phrases or examples from each to demonstrate how each author uses powerful descriptive language or imagery to flesh out the thesis. Remember to also avoid using personal anecdote or opinion to support your claims; stick to the text to analyze what makes it work. Also keep in mind what you read in Chapter 4 of theArgument Todaytext concerning effective reading strategies. Post your observations by Wednesday at 11:59 PM.
Then respond to two peers by Sunday night at 11:59 PM. In your responses you should not only say Hey I agree! or Im not sure that I agree. Use specific examples from the text to either support your classmates observations or offer counter-examples that might disprove/refine your classmates thoughts.
