End of the World Paper #3

  1. Compare/Contrast the character of Lauren Olamina with that of Willy Loman. Keep your focus on how each deals with their “world” ending. What is the same? (Yes, quite a bit actually!) What is different? You must use direct references to each text to prove your points.


  1. Topic of your choice if approved by Kurt. For this to be finalized, you must present a *thesis statement.

Very Important Things that your paper MUST include:

AFTER YOUR CONCLUSION PARAGRAPH YOU MUST PUT YOUR THESIS STATEMENT AT THE VERY END OF YOUR ESSAY, LABELED AND PRINTED AS A SEPARATE PARAGRAPH OR AFTER YOUR LIST OF WORKS CITED, IF YOU HAVE ONE.

INTRODUCTION

The topic of each of the Body Paragraphs is presented clearly, obviously and in order.

BODY PARAGRAPHS

Each and every Body Paragraph has a clear, obvious Topic Sentence.


Each Body Paragraph gives clear evidence and arguments to support the Topic Sentence.


Each Body Paragraph begins and/or is finished with transitional words and phrases or sentences that clearly connect it to it's preceding and following Body Paragraphs.

CONCLUSION

Conclusion clearly and obviously restates the Thesis Statement.


Conclusion clearly and obviously reviews topics sentences of each of the body paragraphs. 


You use the Conclusion to present some new information, questions, insights, or ideas.
