HW: Satire

• History lovers!  Consider this $5,000 opportunity from the College Board.  Since you would have work quickly, I will apply your essay score to any two of the three following assignments (Farm Bureau work, Satirical CWP, Poetry Santa Cruz work). Here are three I found most interesting:
• Ronald Reagan’s address to the National Association of Evangelicals (1983)
•  Video of Actual Speech
• Malcolm X’s “The Ballot or the Bullet” speech (1964)
• Abigail Adams’s “Remember the Ladies” letter (1776)
