Finish reading the novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (Book attached)
——————————————————————————————————
– Compare and contrast the historical and cultural background of both Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic as seen through the novel Oscar Wao and the cultural readings and film Mi Puerto Rico. Be sure to mention the prevalence of machismo, the agency (or lack of agency) of women, syncretism, and authoritarianism (Trujillo and the Ponce Massacre as examples).
– Your essay must be at least 500 words long, double spaced. An excellent essay typically gives specific examples (short quotes as needed); focus; development of ideas; coherence; correct grammar usage; and creativity. Make your essay uniquely your own.
