In “My Son, The Prince of Fashion” Michael Chabon discusses the ways in which his son finds his own community through fashion. While Chabon does not understand this “world,” he does celebrate the fact that his son has found a place to belong and a place where people understand him. In your own life, how do you “send up flares” to show yourself as a part of a community? What does your “world” look like? How might you “send up flares” to people around you?
This is an argumentative essay (you must make an argument or a contribution to the conversation) that relies on both personal evidence and evidence from the readings. You must refer to Chabon in your essay.
