ENG 239 Literatures of Global English
Paper 2 Prompts
Word count: 1000–1200 words
DUE: Friday, 10/29 on CANVAS by 11:59pm
For your second paper, you will take up a particular dimension of Jamaica Kincaid’s Lucy and
pursue it in a more systematic, sustained way. Choose ONE of the following questions, and
write an essay that builds a clear thesis on the question, supporting that thesis using specific
passages from the text.
These should not be approached as exam questions, which have a single “right” answer. Rather,
think of them as open–ended questions to prompt your thinking. The most successful papers will
choose their prompt NOT on the basis of which one is the easiest to answer, but which one will
allow for the most interesting, compelling answer to the prompt question.
1) What is one surprising challenge that Lucy faces as an immigrant to the U.S., and how is
she able to overcome that challenge? (Remember: the key word in this question is
surprising. At all costs, avoid resorting to broad clichés about “the challenges
immigrants face,” and in your introduction be sure to establish why the challenge is
surprising).
2) In class, we discussed Lucy’s contradictory feelings about her homeland. Identify one
key contradiction and explain what it reveals more broadly about the legacies of
colonialism.
3) Why, according to the novel, is hospitality problematic? Identify one problem with
hospitality and use the novel to explain it in detail. For example, how does this problem
affect one of the central characters? Does the novel offer any way to overcome this
problem?
Each paper should have a clear, interesting thesis, which should be supported by (1) evidence
from the text (both direct and indirect references), (2) your own analysis of that evidence, and
(3) interpretation (i.e. connecting your analysis back to your larger argument).
All references to the text should include page citations. MLA citation style is preferred, though
you can use other styles (APA, Chicago, etc.) as long as you use them consistently.
