In English 101, you read several texts about the history, culture, people of Los Angeles. In addition to the assigned reading, you conducted your own original research on some aspect of Los Angeles. Using The Many Faces of Israel as your model text, write a chapter that asserts your assessment of Los Angeles via the lens of The Story, The People, The Culture, The Angeleno, or The Challenge.
Your role: you have been asked to contribute a short chapter to a book about authentic Los Angeles. One purpose for this book is to debunk stereotypes, myths, and clichés about the city. You may also have a secondary purpose that you want to make clear in the project..
Choose ONE chapter theme (The Story, The People, The Culture, The Angeleno, or The Challenge) and a topic with which you can explore that theme.
Note: Your chapter will be representative. That is, you will NOT be able to cover ALL of L.A.’s People, Culture, Story, etc. You will have to narrow the focus of your research and your writing. Study the model to get a sense of how Gold does it. See me in office hours to discuss further.
