Within this racial identity or identities that you have noted, explore how race does or does not affect your identity in different social contexts that you find yourself in. When does race become relevant and when is it irrelevant? Why and how does this happen?


And you this is the analysis that you should have for this draft:

• What did your partner like about your writing?
• What suggestions did your partner have about your writing and how could you incorporate them?
• How has your thesis changed or developed since your first writing?
• What new support have you brought into your writing?
