Additional Info
Read "Graduation" by Maya Angelou, then read "I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read" by Francine Prose.  Identify Prose's main argument--what's her overall point?  Find flaws and strengths in her argument(s).  You can talk about whether you agree or disagree with Prose, but only in terms of HOW she argues her points.  Think: "This argument works because..." or "This argument doesn't work because..."   Avoid: "I agree with Prose's point" or "I disagree with Prose's point."
