Prompt:

The differences between Red Hills and Cotton and Lemon Swampare many, and recognition of the ways in which these two experiences of the State radically diverge from one another is an important part of this course. For this assessment, note one way in which you see connection or similarity between these two memoirs. You may discuss subtle differences, but these should be highlighted by the connections between the texts. Another way to approach this last point might be, once you have established a clear similarity, how can one understand that similarity better by also recognizing the differences?

Use properly cited specifics from both texts to evidence your argument.
