Lyrical Essay
In English, we read Citizen: An American Lyric By Claudia Rankine.
“Did you win? he asks.
It wasn’t a match, I say. It was a lesson.”
― Claudia Rankine
It is filled with lyrical essays that we were able to analyze, and then we wrote our own, which you can read below (if you scroll down you can read my intention statement as well):
One of the coolest things about lyrical essays is that they aren’t really any rules, and the rules that are in place are meant to be broken! I enjoyed writing about something personal and meaningful to me and learning about other people through reading theirs.
