Reading SummaryRobert Wolfe edited a collection of essays titled, An American Mosaic: Prose and Poetry by Everyday Folk. This book is a collection of stories from homeless people. In the story we read, Mince lurches from one awful event to another, desperately struggling to make sense of it all. He frames these events by comparing his situation to the brutal repression of the student protests in Tiananmen Square in China in 1989 (see p. 67 paragraphs 1 & 2.) He uses this framework of repression to understand his own experience.
Discussion QuestionRead the .pdf copy of the Mince interview below and address the following question:
What project theme best explains why Mince compares his situation as a homeless person living in the United States to the repression of the protesters at Tiananmen Square in China?InstructionsRespond to the question above and refer to one of the Project #1 themes: We construct our identity by telling stories about ourselves.
Our memories are stories that make up our identity.
Popular culture tells collective stories that shape how we see ourselves.
We are multiple selves influenced by the people around us and the institutions we inhabit (home, work, school.)
We often define ourselves in relation to an “other,” someone who we see as different and/or inferior to ourselves.
In the body of your response, support your answer by referring to a specific passage from the reading in your own words (this is referred to as paraphrasing.)
