Compare and Contrast Los Angeles via Books- Coursework

Description of assignment: Compose an anthology of TEN quotations drawn from the materials assigned for the final four sections of this course. The anthology will consist of a preface, short commentaries on each quotation, and a conclusion. The anthology should be governed by a theme that offers a way to unite together the diverse materials for this course. The best anthologies (those that will receive an A or A- grade) will be ones where the theme enables the student to inquire into the complexities of Los Angeles culture and literature and where both the theme and commentaries manifest democratic thinking (i.e., the checking and balancing of representations and seeing an issue from multiple points of view)
