Review the
"Origins" section of Dreams from My Father, and think about it in
terms of the different values that both parents and grandparents are
trying to instill in the young Obama. In a 2-3 page (typed)
thesis-focused essay, compare and contrast at least two different
values and argue for which value Obama seems to incorporate into his life
most fully (by the end of the "Origins" section). As part of your essay,
make sure to define each value, explain (with direct quotations) how
Obama's parents and/or grandparents try to instill them, and why you think
one value is more central to him than others.
