Here are some general questions to help as you read, take notes, and make connections:
How does the writer connect various subtopics about identity—for instance, their personal identity and religious faith, or their personal identity and ethnicity?
What does identity mean to the writer? What conflicts or challenges does she address?
What does the writer say about how identity (the specific kind they’re addressing) does, should, orshould not work in society—generally or in
particular contexts (like the workplace, advertising, school, etc)?
