Guidelines:

By now you should have all read and become familiar with the Colson Whitehead essay, “The Colossus of New York.” In his essay, Whitehead contends that everyone has a different definition of what New York is to them. He explains that every experience that one has in New York is just another brick used to construct their own definition of New York. In order to build on our understanding of Brooklyn, we think it important to clarify in writing what Brooklyn is to each of us. In order to do this you will all write your first large writing assignment entitled “My Brooklyn.” Below you will find guidelines to follow while writing your essay.
