Summary: You are required to write one critical essay in this course: approximately 7-10 pages.The primary goal of this essay is to look closely at a specific portion of the text to make some claim about the text as a whole, and then to use outside sources to illuminate your stance, even further. For my critical essay, I plan to explore how Zora Neale Hurston’s “How It Feels to Be Colored Me” expresses pride in Black identity through individuality, self-confidence, and cultural awareness. My key question is: How does Hurston redefine what it means to be “colored” in a society that defines Blackness through oppression and difference? Use the works cited listed plus two additional. Hurston, Zora Neale. “How It Feels to Be Colored Me.” The World Tomorrow, 1928.Walker, Alice. “In Search of Zora Neale Hurston.” Ms. Magazine, 1975.Gates, Henry Louis, Jr. “The Trope of the Talking Book: Signifying and Hurston’s Essays.” African American Review, vol. 18, no. 3, 1984, pp. 425–437
