Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This essay won or received an honorable mention for The Boothe Prize for excellence in first-year writing. The Boothe Prize recognizes and rewards outstanding expository and argumentative writing by undergraduate students in the first-year Writing and Rhetoric classes, Integrated Learning Environments, and Thinking Matters programs. In each award-winning essay, student writers demonstrate clarity of argument, excellent integration of research-based evidence, and compelling prose style. Starting with a recount of her own cultural identity, Jasmine Liu continues to discuss the dichotomy between the diverse make-up of U.S. society and a K-12 education that focuses on nationalism and patriotism.
