Read an excerpt from Justice Sonia Sotomayor's New York University 2012 Commencement Address:
Finally, the last emotion I've experienced has been the joy
of engagement. It's a hackneyed statement, but life is not a
spectator sport. To squeeze from life its fullness, to be
happy in this world in the short period of time we are given,
to find meaning in life, you have to be active and giving
members of your communities. Neither your life nor the
world you live in just happens. You control the quality of
your lives and your communities. It is only in giving to
others that you can find meaning and satisfaction in what
you do
What does Sotomayor use to introduce her discussion on the joy of
engagement?
O A. A statement that happiness should not be a life goal
O B. A comparison of two people's lives
O C. A metaphor about getting involved
O D. A suggestion that life has to be spontaneous

The harlem renaissance dawned in an era of pervasive racism and segregation. although legally "free," many african americans were still bound by ideas that had their roots in the slavery of earlier centuries. identity and freedom are important ideas presented in many of the poems from the harlem renaissance. furthermore, the values of identity and freedom are not unique to particular times and places. as hughes expresses in "dream variations," all humans want to be able to develop their identities in freedom. what role does freedom play in the poems you read in this unit? what is required of a society to enable each individual to be true to his or her identity and be free to live by that identity? write about at least three of the poems, describing how the poet uses imagery to depict freedom and identity, the lack of it, or the desire for it.
