Writing Prompt
In “The Color of Family Ties,” Naomi Gerstel and Natalia Sarkisian point out that political commentators often complain that minority families are usually nontraditional and dysfunctional while traditional nuclear families (like the one depicted in Norman Rockwell’s Freedom from Fear) are the only ones capable of supportive relationships and strong family connections.
Do some research and find 3 examples of political commentators critical of minority families. What kinds of criticism do they make about minority families? Next, analyze the three nontraditional minority families depicted in Jack’s essay and Soto’s essay and Dixon’s poem to discover if such families are indeed incapable of supportive relationships and strong family ties. Or do they illustrate the opposite? Which of these three families offers the strongest example of supportive relationships and strong family ties?
