i have to write a synthesis essay about these two poems
what things can i write about and what thesis statement can i make at the beginning?

Natasha Trethewey
White lies
The lies I could tell,
When I was growing up
Light-bright, near-white,
High-yello, redboned
In a black place,
Were just white lies

I could easily tell the white folks
That we lived uptown,
Not in that pink and green
Shanty-fied shotgun section
Along the tracks. I could act
Like my homemade dresses
Came straight out the window
Of Maison Blanche. I could even
Keep quiet, quiet as kept,
Like the time a white girl said
(squeezing my hand), Now
We have three of us in class

But I paid for it every time
Mama found out.
She laid her hands on me,
Then washed out my mouth
With Ivory soap. This
Is to purify, she said,
And cleanse your lying tongue.
Believing her, I swallowed suds
Thinking they’d work
From the inside out

second one
Learning to Love America

Forget about the Big Bang Theory and stuff. Why is there a reason for anything to exist?

The dream is the most realistic dream I have ever had.
It was beautiful and haunting and I believe it had a meaning:

I have written the prose in a style that demonstrates, hopefully, the realism of the dream but also the surreal quality obviously inherent in a dream.

I chose to ignore conventionally accepted grammar to convey the ethereal and poetic quality of the dream as it was revealed to me.

What is your interpretation of the dream and what are your thoughts on the writing and the way the feelings and images,scenes are depicted?

I am currently rereading this book and checked to see if anyone had ever made a film version. They had not. With all the adaptations being put out from books why do you think no one has ever turned Catcher in the Rye into a movie?

“I think the ideals and conjectures of "rights" along with "entitlements" are purely factitious or imaginative having no existence amongst nature but instead only existing in civilization as an extension of moral idealisms”.

What are your opinions on this statement?

I'm still trying to make a decision.

I've already read "Gone With the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell, and I was wondering if Les Miz is better than it. GWTW is a great book so if Les Miz is better I will definately read it.

All Opinions Welcome.

Thanks
&
God Bless
