(1) Apply a definition of a term of your own choosing from The Worm at the Core taken from Chapters 1-3 to
any passage you select from Becoming Americans between pages 205 and 301. (2) Then find some essential
or telling way in which one or two of the matters you have discussed can be applied to the insights of Ta-Nehisi
Coates found in Between the World and Me between pages 1-39. In your essay be sure to fairly summarize the
definition you select by placing it in its proper context. Also be sure to place the selections you make from the
Stavans’ anthology and the Coates’s memoir in their proper contexts as well.
