Voltaire said that originality is nothing more than judicious imitation. Today in class we're going to try it by beginning to imitate Claudia Rankine's work "Citizen." You will notice that she writes of what seem to be personal experiences (that she has had) in the second person (you).
For your in-class writing, try to imitate Rankine's sparse, precise prose as you recount an uncomfortable and unjust situation you've experienced using the second person.
