Previously Non-Participating Parties Progress Prom Past Problematic Presentation
WRIT 2555​
This piece was inspired by another that I wrote in my Diverse Rhetorics course about the evolution of Senior Prom over the years, specifically through my mother and Is experiences. This piece is more research based, exploring the Senior Prom from a couple cultural viewpoints. In the course we learned about the rhetorics of various identities in America, so I focused on Asian-Americans and African-Americans and how these cultures have been and are now represented throughout Prom.
