It's been a blessing that I discovered this channel. I have to write a literary analysis essay and I don't know where to start. Watching your series made me step on the right track. Thank you.
American society tends to follow a pattern of life--people go to school, get a job, and perhaps raise a family that also follow this ostensibly inescapable path. However, accepting these walks of life can be difficult, and one teenager that resists conforming to this pattern is Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. Deeply impacted by the death of his younger brother, Holden doesn't apply himself in school because he fears the harsh realities that come with growing up. Holden's inability to reflect on himself highlights the importance of knowing your capacity to sustain yourself before seeking freedom. (I definitely need to keep practicing, but thanks for your tips!)
"Power can be both corrupt and dangerous. Particularly in Greek society, in which officials in a position of power are the interpreter of divine law, the potential for abuse is immense. In Sophocles’ Antigone, Creon, unabiding to either reason or public opinion, steadfastly upholds his edict and condemns Anitgone to death. Thus, he utilizes his status and power to enforce his nearing tyrannical reign. By coercing Thebes adhere to his “interpretation” of the divine law, Creon ultimately contradicts true divine law and refused to rectify his abuses. As a result, he commits an over extension of his mortal power and invokes the divine wrath of fate. Ultimately, his arrogance blinds him and unintentional leads him to indirectly murder his son. Blinded by excessive hubris, an individual contributes to his/ her downfall by ignoring collateral damage following the consequences of his/her actions." I know the thesis could be stronger, but this is what I have so far! It would be an honor to have some feedback from the infamous Ms. Peer Editor! :)
Great start Linda! Your background information is perfect, and you provided context without retelling the plot of the play. You may want to consider editing the first sentence, since it's a bit broad. You can potentially speak about how individuals in positions of power tend to manipulate or ignore the law to achieve their own goals. Your thesis is strong, but just make sure to connect it to Antigone. What specific aspect of the play conveys the theme? Is it a specific character (probably Creon), an event, or a symbol? These are just a few tips, but your introduction is great overall!
I was struggling so hard in writing an intro for my essays in lit for IGCSE ...that's always where I lost marks TYSMMM FOE THISSS IT ACC PUT ME ON THE RYT TRACKKK
When you mention the abstract ideas, "What motivates the characters?", "What is the end goal?" etc. Should we include all of the points mentioned or just pick one of them and focus on that one point?
It's really up to you! Those questions are meant as a jumping-off point for you to come up with one abstract idea that you can expand upon in your introductory paragraph.
Could you please make a separate video on expository and argumentative essay and if possible kindly share a complete essay for each type. This would help me immensely
Help, I need to write a essay on “the road not taken” by Robert frost and I have no idea how to start 🥲 I’ve been stuck staring at my screen for so long any tips.
