Genre 1: Synthesis
This genre explores the question at the core of this inquiry through canonical & contemporary literature, history, and contemporary news. This genre explores the connections between the contemporary memoir, Educated, the canonical text, A Lesson Before Dying, The Mirabel Sister's dissent in the Dominican Republic, and the American born children of Latino immigrants. This genre seeks to answer the question and concludes that a strong self-selected community and a redefinition of social norms through one's individual lens are powerful forces in transcending collective, social norms.
