Write a 1 page essay that describes your identity as it existed before you began your class readings.

• How did you or would you define yourself—as  a daughter, a community member,  a  Christian? What was most important to you—religious  freedom, ? How big or small was your world—five square  blocks, one state, or many countries or continents? How culturally,  politically, economically, or religiously diverse was your world? How  aware were you of the world outside of your immediate environment?

As part of your essay, in 2 to 3 paragraphs also reflect on your  relationship with people in other parts of the world. Who are they to  you? Who do you think you are to them?

Refer to 2 specific examples from your course reading and record  in your assignment information about each source, including author,  year, page number, and publication title.
