    write an argumentation about music video and articles provided   Read bell hooks’ “Moving Beyond Pain,” along with Sesali Bowen’s “Auntie bell, I love you, but you gotta chill,” Blair LM Kelley’s “We should be celebrating Lemonade, not picking it apart,” and Joy-Ann Reid’s “Lemonade is a powerful Black feminist aesthetic in its own right,” with a critical eye. (You will find both hooks’ essay and the three responses attached to this exam.) Write an analytical or argumentative essay of 750-1000 words, where you address the arguments made by both bell hooks and at least one other critic who is responding to hooks’ work on the topic of Beyoncé’s visual album, Lemonade. In your essay, address the rhetorical efficacy of the arguments provided and adopt a position of your own on any of the key issues raised by the texts. When navigating your own position on Lemonade, you may use direct evidence from the Formation video we watched and discussed in class.
