“On Seeing England for the First Time,” George Orwell’s “Shooting an Elephant,” Chimamanda Adichie’s “The Danger of a Single Story,”

Pick two of the following works: Jamaica Kincaid’s “On Seeing England for the First Time,” George Orwell’s “Shooting an Elephant,” Chimamanda Adichie’s “The Danger of a Single Story,” Binyavanga Wainaina’s “How to Write about Africa,” a song by Kendrick Lamar. Advance a specific and debatable thesis on the topic of colonialism or imperialism by comparing the works of your two authors. Consider the following questions: What do their unique perspectives illuminate about the topic? How might they be read together to understand the topic deeper? How might one respond to the other? How might one text be used as a “lens” to understand the other? Engage with the argument, tone, form, and persuasive techniques.
