Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
Clash of Cultures: Please write a two-page paper (word count around 680) from the perspective of a Native American or a European/African when encountering each other for the first time on American soil. You can also juxtapose two opposing positions. For example, a Native American (page 1) is astonished by the strange appearance, clothes, and religious practices of the Europeans, while a Spanish or English newcomer to the New World finds himself puzzled by the Indian way of life (page 2). The key task of this paper is to put yourself in the “historical shoes” of your ancestors and to portray the collision of two disparate cultures during their initial encounters. Be sure to use appropriate sixteenth-century language and avoid twenty-first century idioms. No academic sources are required for this paper, although the reading/viewing of articles/documentaries prior to writing your essay will surely be helpful! Have fun with this project! (Also make sure the weather is the same from back then she is strict about it)
