Final Paper on
A Cup of Water Under My Bed: A Memoir
20 points (or 20% of your total grade)
Format and Submission:
This paper will be based on Daisy Hernandez’ memoir
A Cup of Water Under My Bed
. This paper will be 4-5 pages double spaced, and will be due
before 12:15 on 5/17 via moodle upload.
Daisy Hernandez’ memoir is a narration of her life story and
how the intersections of culture, gender, sexuality, spirituality,
class, immigration, etc. play out in various dimensions of her
life. Even as these intersections shape her experiences, she also
pushes back in many ways against them. In this paper, I would
like you to do 3 things:
1.
Discuss some specific examples of her complex relationship to
her culture/community. How does she
both draw on and push back against
the constructs of gender, religion, culture, sexuality etc. that
she inherits from her background? (approximately 2 pages)
2.
One key theme woven through her memoir is
the role of language
in her life. Analyze some ways that Hernandez discusses her
relationship to language in the memoir. Please insert direct
quotes (not too long - and insert page numbers in parentheses)
in your response. (2 pages)
3.
What are some parts of her story that you, on a personal level,
connect with and why? You may use this as an opportunity to
have a conversation with the author, or to just relate to very
specific moments in the book and how they connect to your own
lived experiences, i.e.
your narration of your life
. (1 pages minimum)
Some Tips:
•
Draw on specific quotes and/or examples from the memoir
(although no too long) to make your points.
•
Work on the writing. Write, edit, and edit more.
•
Unleash a combination of your creative and analytical skills and
enjoy this paper
(at least as much as you can!)
