Phillis Wheatley stands out as a unique figure in American literature as concurrently both a poet and a slave. Although Wheatley doesn’t challenge her enslavement directly, it is difficult to read her poetry without seeing her either challenge the slave trade as a practice or the position of enslaved people. Discuss how you see Phillis Wheatley making these challenges in at least two poems. Be sure you reference specific examples from the text cited using MLA style in-text citations (along with a Works Cited) and analyze how you see her challenging the status quo in those references. Responses without properly cited evidence from the poetry in each body paragraph will receive an automatic grade of F.
Crevecoeur attempts in Letter III to explain the American character and to show how it is different from Europe.

Be sure you reference specific examples from the text cited using MLA style in-text citations (along with a Works Cited). Responses without properly cited evidence in each body paragraph from the assigned reading will receive an automatic grade of F.
