Directions: Your final paper will focus on two of the three stories that we have read in the second half of the semester (the excerpts from The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, the excerpts from “Hiroshima,” and “Atonement”). In it, you will analyze an aspect of the two readings your paper is about. You can either choose from the topics listed below or develop your own. If you choose to develop your own, you must receive our approval of the topic before proceeding with the paper.
Choose any two of the three stories. Discuss how the authors collected the information for their stories and how they presented it. Then, discuss whether you think the two stories show bias from the author, making an argument for why or why not in each case. Finally, discuss what someone who disagrees with your position might say and your response to them.
