Read "The Heart of Whiteness: The Allure of Tourism in Vertical Limit and The Beach" from Bad Subjects Issue 54. Respond to this author's perception of the "cinematic erasure of the non-white characters," in which "the guests become the hosts and the host-subjects become outsiders in their own lands." Compare this discussion of "otherness" to the experience of the colonial officer in "Shooting an Elephant" and that of Tuta in "His First Ball." Use a cause-and-effect or comparison-and-contrast pattern to construct an argument about otherness.
