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. In this essay, Rishabh Kapoor questions the traditional narrative of the "brain drain" as one caused solely by the economic decline of rural areas, instead suggesting other causes, as well as hope for revitalization in the future.
