What does it mean to come undone? Scholars consider the author's use of the phrase as they read paragraphs 12–15 from Julia Alvarez's autobiographical essay "A Genetics of Justice." They complete a quick write to analyze how Alvarez supports her central ideas. Pupils also discuss how the author develops themes of trauma and freedom in her writing.
