Paper Idea

Well now that I know this is what I was supposed to do:

For my paper I'm going to do a piece on how cultural literacy influences identity by connecting Lu's story, From Silence to Words: Writing as a Struggle with the Ewens' work, In the Shadow of the Image.

Now don't steal my idea or else I will be a sad panda. Any input, ideas, or comments will be much appreciated.

Edit: I should probably elaborate on my idea. I choose these two seemingly unrelated articles because I found that the issue of identity being affected based on external influences to conform as a common theme in both. I hope that clears things up for you all.
