Write an essay, which is based on Cathy Song’s 1983 poem “Lost Sister”Begin your essay with an introduction that answers the question directly and sets up the terms of your argument. Choose quotations that directly prove your arguments, and incorporate them correctly into your sentences. Finish your essay with a conclusion that summarizes your argument and offers any final thoughts.
Essay Question: In “Lost Sister,” the speaker describes Chinese women’s experiences in China and in America. How do these experiences compare to each other? What are their individual advantages and disadvantages? Which experience does the speaker seem to prefer, and why? Illustrate your answer with at least ten (10) quotations, including line number citations, and use the vocabulary terms simile, metaphor, apostrophe, symbol, and connotation at least one time each in sentences that show the terms’ meanings and how they influence the meaning of the poem. (For example: “The speaker uses a simile in line X” would not count. Instead, identify the simile with quotation, and explain how it is important to the meaning of the poem, to your own argument.) Your essay should be at least 700 words long (longer is fine; shorter is not).
