Pick one or two ethnographic vignette(s) from this article and write a 1000 word detailed critical reflection on how the vignette(s) is/are used by the writer to make their argument.

In your critical reflection you should include:

the main arguments the writer makes about the topic

key quotations from the article that sum up these arguments

how the writer is constructing their argument through the ethnographic vignettes/details

your own reflections on the points made and how they compare with your own experiences (if relevant)

what you have learned about anthropology and ethnography so far and how this approach differs from others you have encountered

* a vignette is a short, rich (thick) descriptive account of fieldwork observations. It is selective and intentionally composed to argue/analyse what is being conveyed.
