Craft
a research paper of 7-10+ pages that provides your personal answer to the
question “What does it mean to be an American?” You may base your answer on your personal reading, research,
and events in the news and in your own life. Feel free to scavenge from
previous essays (remember, however, that this is a research paper. This paper needs to demonstrate the ability to
conduct original, college level research). Classroom texts don’t count as
research.
You may consider other questions, such as what do Americans fear? What do we aspire to? What do we fight for? What American traits are universal? What traits are unique?
This paper requires parenthetical citations and a Works Cited page in MLA format.
