Hi Class,
Some help for Essay 1.
First, a recapĀ the 4 types of homesickness that I discussed at the beginning of the semester:Ā Ā
Second, here is a brief definition of Transnational:
TheĀ transnationalĀ person passes over and across national and international borders, yet nations and regions also leave traces on the person. The transnational person bumps over, goes around, and passes through many natural and human-made borders which come loaded with institutions, socio-economics, politics, and feelings, all of which infuse the person with multiple connections and multiple fractures, resulting in a person who is transformed by border crossing and also transforms the border itself.
Third, in an earlier lecture (see February 24th), I provided you with four quotes about the nature of home. Those might be useful to you for Essay 1.
Best,
Sean
