DEFINITION ESSAY ACTIVITY In small groups use the 6 questions (see page 480 of the handout) to create a definition for the individual subject, collective subject, institution, or concept on your note card. 1. Is this subject unique, or are there others of its kind? If it resembles others, in what ways? How is it different? 2. In what different forms does it occur, while keeping its own identity? 3. When and where do we find it? Under what circumstances and in what situations? 4. What is it a the present moment? 5. What does it do? What are its functions and activities? 6. How is it put together? What parts make it up? What holds these parts together?

DEFINITION ESSAY: SAMPLE ANALYSIS “The Meanings of Word” by Gloria Naylor The “N” word: Singular word meaning a black man who had earned approval from fellow blacks for demonstrating strength, intelligence or drive in a given situation.

Singular form does not apply as a term approval/respect for a black woman. Instead, the comparable term used would be “G-I-r-l” said as 3 syllables and only used among peers or older to younger, not younger to older.

The “N” word An adjective-used by black women as a term of endearment and respect; also of possession (i.e. “my”) Plural used by blacks to show disgust and lack of tolerance for fellow blacks who have no self-respect.

The “N” word A racist, derogatory insult used by whites to show prejudice and superiority to blacks.

The “N” word A term used to show solidarity among a group of blacks to remove the stigma associated with it when said by whites. The term when used within the black community reflects the self-perception of the blacks in opposition to the meaning when used by outsiders.

The “N” Word What it is A term of respect A term of endearment A term of derision A term that changes meaning based upon vocal delivery A term that changes meaning based upon person using it A term used to tear down A term used to build up A term that is innocuous A term subject to consensus What it is not The same when spoken aloud by people of different races A term that is innocuous
