Write an introduction of about 250 words that establishes (a) how one becomes a U.S. citizen
Question 2. Write an introduction of about 250 words that establishes (a) how one becomes a U.S. citizen and (b) what groups were structurally advantaged by laws governing citizenship and immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This history should be attentive not only to the technical definition of citizenship in the Constitution, but the legal and social dimensions of the term. The introduction should end with a thesis that addresses either Sui Sin Far’s “Mrs. Spring Fragrance” or one of the assigned poems by Emma Lazarus. The thesis should answer this question: how is citizenship lived, defined, and experienced in this text? The second 250 words should provide a close reading of passages in your chosen text that provide evidence for your thesis.
Each of these mini-essays is based on questions from the forums, but significant revision from your initial answer is required. Insufficiently-revised responses – for example, cut-and-pasted paragraphs from the Forums on Citizenship and then Sui Sin Far — will earn no credit. I recommend composing in Microsoft Word to save your work.
