I need help. I can usually get started on an essay fairly quickly. This topic has got me going crazy!
Write a cause and effect essay about words. Using the essays by Cisneros, Naylor, and Scudder as a guide or example, explore the cause and effect of the power of words.
Consider:
Where do you think power of language is created? How does language change how you see yourself, your peers, or your world?
Cisneros essay was about her name. Naylors was about the N word and how it was used in her family and how it was used to hurt her in school.
Seriously though... I don't get how to write an essay about the power of words.
Any help is truly appreciated.
