For this essay, read any ONE of the texts from the “Am Lit” file uploaded below found in the Becoming America text uploaded below and compare it to something in our current culture of your choosing.  You can choose a TV show, a movie, a song…just about anything.  Recognize that PROBABLY I will not know the thing you are comparing our text/theme to, so you will need to include significant detail from your chosen “text” so that I can follow your comparison.
