On p. 55 of Claudia Rankine's Citizen, she writes, "Then the voice in your head silently tells you to take your foot off your throat because just getting along shouldn't be an ambition."
Imagine a character whose ambition, whose dream, whose highest hope is "just getting along." Who is this character? What has shaped his or her goals? Why does he/she fantasize about getting to a place many people can't wait to escape from?
Write a character sketch in which you describe this character inside and out.
