Race and Rhetoric in Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi CoatesIn this essay you will examine how Ta-Nehisi Coatess Between the World and Me expresses the way we think about race and the (African-American) body in America today.

Each essay will discuss how Coates takes a key phrase such as The Mecca, the Yard, the body, or the dream (which he also calls dreams and the Dream) and then expands the definition of that term to include broader ideas of race, history, geography, storytelling, or physical violence.Cite the Richard Wright poem as:Wright, Richard. “Between the World and Me.” New York: International Publishers, 1936. Print.Document OrganizationYour opening paragraphs will be an exploration of Richard Wrights poem Between the World and Me (1935).After a careful transition, subsequent paragraphs will elaborate how Ta-Nehisi Coatess book extends and complicates the ideas of Wrights poem about the history of injury and threat to African American bodies as seen in his use of the key phrase you select.Body paragraphs will call out the rhetorical elements of the book, such as the way that Coates frames the book, Between The World And Me, as a letter to his son, and thus asks the reader to empathize with a subject position that is very likely foreign to her. (This is the same shift that occurs in Wrights poem, where the speaker takes on the body of the murder victim.) Students may also chose to call out small, sentence-level choices such as the use of dashes, capitalization, etc.Conclude your paper by citing a recent event from the news or national media that deals with the fragility or politicized weight of African American bodies. (Consider Black Lives Matters, Colin Kaepernicks kneeling for the anthem, etc.)Details> 1100 – 1250 words. >Formatting.
