Description t

For this post, you will have a choice of two different topics of which to respond. 

Option #1: Many families have unique traditions like Lahiri's family tradition of carrying loads of food back from India. Think of a tradition that is unique to your family or to another group you belong to--for instance, a holiday celebration, a vacation activity, a way of resolving or avoiding disagreement. Describe that tradition, focusing on the objects used, the activities involved, and the feelings associated with it. (This is a chance for the class to get know "who" you are).

OR

Option #2: Do you find the Las Vegas wedding industry and its clients, as described by Didion, to be ridiculous, depressing, amusing, harmless, or something else? Explain your impression. Describe another ritual or social custom (for example, a graduation, military induction, presidential inauguration, religious service). What does the conduct of this custom tell us about our attitudes toward it?
