Topic for Paper 1

Write a paper on this topic:

One aspect of my family and family history may be viewed as a "political fiction."  My family has been deeply impacted by this PF and it has created (positive / negative) conditions for our lives.


  • Tell a story about one example of the political fiction
  • Describe the conditions that ENGENDERED or brought about the creation of the political fiction
  • Explain how the political fiction impacts the family
  • Comment on the overall use, manipulation and perpetuation of this political fiction
If you are writing about the Baldwin story, one approach would be to write a kind of sociological report on how this Sheriff became the racist, agitated, impotent hard-headed man he has become.


Minimum / maximum is FOUR (4) pages
You will bring TWO (2) stapled copies
12 pt. times roman font or its equivalent
1 inch margins on all sides
white paper
Remember Orwell's tips for all our writing!
