How Identity Is Defined
Identity is sometimes defined by race, religion, and/or the place where you grew up. Yet, two people can have all of these things in common, and define themselves as very different from one another. How much of your identity is yours? How do people then go about writing an autobiography and giving their readers the 'important' pieces of information.
Suggestions for Readings:
Up from Slavery by Booker T. Washington
The Varieties of Religious Experience by William James
An American Dilemma by Gunnar Myrdal
Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen
Autobiographies by W.B. Yeats
