Document Summary
This paper consists of a creative exercise based on a thorough reading of rebecca. You will compose a 5-page (double-spaced) paper in which you describe a typical day in the life (or slightly longer depending on the story you want to tell) of a member of azawagh arab culture. In other words, you will be constructing a character, and giving your reader a sense of what his/her life is like. You may use first-person narration ( i ), or omniscient third-person narration ( he/she ). The point of this exercise is to try to understand a culture azawagh arab culture by reconstructing some aspects of it as seen through the eyes of a hypothetical member of that culture. In other words, it is an exercise in empathy, which is an important element in achieving an anthropological understanding of other peoples and cultures. Therefore, your creative license is restricted by the facts as they are detailed in the ethnography itself.
