Finding One's Self Identity - An Essay

Well, this here's an essay that I wrote way back in the day in my last year of high school. Salman Rushdie's book, The Satanic Verses, was the book that I choose to write my independent study essay on, and I think it turned out rather well, though I still hate the damn essay. It has received much praise over the last few years, and some people even thought that it was written by someone with a PhD (that's scary, eh?).
