For the final essay, you will be asked to read three questions carefully and then choose only ONE question to answer. You will then write a thesis-centered essay of at least 500 words in response to this one question using direct quotations from both “College Students: School is Not Your Job” by Jonathan Malesic and “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action” by Audre Lorde to support your writing.
Remember to:
Develop a thesis that takes a clear stance or position in response to one of the questions.
Organize your thoughts — an outline can help do this.
Use MLA in-text citation to support your claim with quotes and paraphrases from BOTH the Lorde and the Malesic readings.
(You must use at least one cited idea from each reading).
Discuss how the citations and ideas are relevant to your thesis through close reading and personal connections/observations.
While you can also use your own observations and experiences to develop your claims,
the Malesic and Lorde readings must be the primary source for development.
After rereading the directions (above), read the three questions below carefully and then choose only ONE to answer in a thesis-driven essay. 
Include the following information at the beginning of your essay:
