2 PART ESSAY WRITTEN SEPARATELY PART 1: WRITE A 2-3 PAGE ESSAY ABOUT THE NOVEL: Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street (1984) CONNECTING IT TO THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OUT OF WHICH IT EMERGED AS WELL AS THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE PERIOD IN WHICH IT WAS PRODUCED. (IF THEY ARE DIFFERENT) SO, IF A BOOK WAS WRITTEN IN 1986 ABOUT A TIME IN 1966 LOOK AT BOTH ASPECTS BUT FOCUS LARGELY ON THE TIME THE BOOK IS ABOUT. THE POINT IS TO EXPRESS THE WAY THAT FICTION CAN REPRESENT HISTORY. (35 POINTS) NO THESIS STATEMENT NEEDED (the pdf of the novel is attached below) PART 2: WRITE A THREE PAGE ANSWER TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION. BE SURE TO RESTATE THE QUESTION AT THE TOP OF YOUR ANSWER AND ALSO BE SURE TO WRITE YOUR THESIS IN BOLD.
