Reading: https://lithub.com/walking-while-black/  This paper is an imitation of Garnette Cadogan’s ‘Walking While Black’ (Links to an external site.) essay.  In writing it, you will present and argue how opinions you and others have influence behaviors, modeling after Cadogan’s writing techniques. Three revisions and a Works Cited page in MLA style are required.  The experience you narrate (in Cadogan’s case, walking while black) should be specific and focused. Pick a personal experience, an event that has stuck with you over time or that you later developed complex feelings about, and are interested in exploring in depth.  Beyond imitating his rhetorical approaches and style, here are the rules and requirements:  Title your essay “[         ] while [             ]”   *If ‘while’ doesn’t fit your situation, just clear your title with me first 🙂  1,500 words (6 pages), Times New Roman, 12 point font I have uploaded my brif brain storm, and I briefly talk about my story, you can follow this thinking and adding more information  Here are my Professor’s suggestions after reading my brainstorming  I think you are off to a strong start. As you add to your draft, think about how Cadogan’s essay develops. He gives his reader a strong sense of how his location affected his thinking/behavior. When you were younger, how did society view an overweight adolescent? Were these perceptions different when you moved to Irvine, CA?  Cadogan also provides the reader extensive details on how he adapted to life in New Orleans and the consequences of not quite understanding the city, even after 8 years. Your reader could have similar questions of you – how long have you been on your journey? What range of consequences have you experienced for deciding to change your physical self? Have you also changed emotionally?  I am from China and in my culture, people prefer skinny. The rate of overweight is low
