The Introduction ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Go

The Hook ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A B C

Sentence C ,[object Object],[object Object],Next

2) Mention two to three Statements about the Character. ,[object Object],[object Object],A B

Option A ,[object Object],This sentence is too informal for formal essay writing. It commits a comma splice and uses contractions. The first sentence is too vague to be specific to Okonkwo (it could be a statement about anyone) and the second sentence also does not help the reader understand more about Okonkwo’s personality. Back

Option B ,[object Object],These sentences show a good understanding of Okonkwo in general. They offer general motivation for his actions ( his father’s failure) and hints at his positive qualities . The second sentence does a good job of hinting at his weaknesses, and thus preparing the reader for the thesis statement. Next

3) Thesis statement ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A B C

Thesis A ,[object Object],[object Object],Next

The First Body Paragraph : Strengths ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Go

Explanation C ,[object Object],[object Object],Next

Last, ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Next

Thesis C ,[object Object],[object Object],Back

Sentence B ,[object Object],Like Sentence A, this sentence lacks creativity and imagination. The purpose of the “hook” is to draw the reader in. This sentence not only incorrectly calls it a “book” instead of a NOVEL, it does not really help the reader understand what the essay will be about! Back

Sentence A ,[object Object],This opening “hook” is too obvious a purpose statement. It is neither interesting nor does it grab the reader’s attention. The purpose of the “hook” is to draw the reader in with a thought-provoking idea. Just stating what the essay will do lacks imagination and interest. Back

For the Weaknesses, ,[object Object],[object Object]

Notes on the Conclusion ,[object Object],[object Object]
