Essay 2: Essay on an Object

due before class Monday April 10

Write a short essay about an object—as small as a thimble or as large as a refrigerator—that you associate with your home culture: the place you grew up, or the place you consider yourself to be “from,” however you choose to define it. Needless to say, your essay should include a physical description of the object. You may appear as a character in the story, or you may not; it is up to you. See the sample pieces for inspiration.
