Respond in a well-organized essay, and make sure your answer is written in complete sentences.
In "The Literature of East Asia and the Pacific Rim," Michael Harris quotes: "Oh, East is East, and West is West,
and never the twain shall meet."" With this famous line, British writer Rudyard Kipling has captured the idea that
the East and West are so radically different that their people can't possibly understand one another. Do you
agree or disagree with Kipling's statement? Write an essay in which you defend your opinion. Use relevant
examples from at least two or three of the selections you read. Be sure to include the title of each selection you
cite as evidence.
