“I’m dead.” This startling sentence begins the book The Color of Water. Death plays many roles in this book. Describe three different “kinds” of death, literal and metaphorical, in The Color of Water. Explain your reasoning. What is the significance of each kind of death? How does it connect to larger themes in the book? Provide a specific example and a quote for each kind of death you highlight.
The essay should be no longer (or shorter) than 5 paragraphs—introduction, 3 body paragraphs and conclusion—typed (12-point font) and double-spaced.
