1.Determine the main theme of -You Should Have Been a Boy!-(http://users.nerdland.net/zonga/08stanton.pdf)

2. Go back through the assigned readings to find 1 short story or poem (Please see attached list) that you think deals with a similar theme. Be creative when figuring out shared themes—there may be some interesting ones that are not immediately obvious because of the difference in forms.
3. Discuss the rhetorical techniques—voicing, tone, imagery, symbolism, rhetorical appeals, etc.—that the authors of the two works use. Do they use similar rhetorical techniques?
4. How do the rhetorical techniques used and the form (essay, short fiction, or poetry) seem to affect the way the theme is addressed?
