In Weeks Three and Four, we explored the genre of American autobiography through two very different figures: Mary Rowlandson and Benjamin Franklin. We examined excerpts from A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson and The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, along with videos and class discussion. We also asked broader questions, such as: What makes a story “American”? How can a personal narrative reflect or shape national identity? What are other forms of autobiography in American culture (besides books), and what do they tell us about how Americans define themselves? In a thoughtful, well-developed paragraph (or more), respond to the following: How do Rowlandson and Franklin each use their personal experiences to craft a larger message about American values or identity? In what ways do these two stories differ in tone, purpose, or worldview, and what do those differences reveal about early American society? Can you identify anything “quintessentially American” about either of these stories or the way they are told? Finally, reflect briefly on modern equivalents: What kinds of autobiographies (or self-presentations) exist today—books, social media, podcasts, reality TV—and how might they continue or challenge the tradition started by figures like Rowlandson and Franklin? Be sure to use specific references to the texts, class discussion, or videos to support your ideas.

In Weeks One and Two, we explored Native American creation stories through a variety of sources: excerpts from the Norton Anthology of American Literature, videos featuring contemporary Native storytellers, and the short documentary Native Voices (produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting). A central question we’ve returned to throughout this unit is: Why do stories matter? Now it’s your turn to answer that, specifically in the context of the material we studied. Why do Native American stories matter? What purpose do they serve? What values do they express or preserve? How do they function beyond mere entertainment? Use specific examples from the assigned readings and viewings to support your answer. A well-developed paragraph will suffice, but feel free to write more if you’d like. Note: Avoid vague generalities or clichés. I’m not looking for a sentence like “Stories are important because they tell about culture.” Instead, show me how and why these stories matter through the lens of what we actually studied.
