F. Scott Fitzgerald's best known novel is in part a description of America in the 1920's - the Jazz Age. A tragic, horrible war has just ended and the country is obsessed with having a good time. The self-made, corrupt millionaire Jay Gatsby typifies the period’s obsessions: money, pleasure, and, according to Fitzgerald, the endless reaching for an “orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us.” Gatsby never achieves his dreams, just as many Americans lose their way toward the American Dream by embracing hollow values.
Write a short essay describing a well-known person, group, or event that is inherently interesting but even more interesting when thought of as symptomatic of a trend in society or a period in history. Think of a dominant impression that expresses the essence of your subject and support it with sensory and vivid details and examples.
Use the following tips to help you complete the assignment:
- Narrow your topic to a single person, group, or event. Focus on the dominant impression for your subject. Include examples and details that support that dominant impression.
- Organize your essay logically. Description essays are typically organized in spatial order or in general-to-specific order or specific-to-general order, but you can use any organization pattern that works best.
- Use sensory and vivid details and examples to help your reader visualize your subject.
- To expand the essay, you might imagine something surprising that could happen involving your subject in the near future. Continue to support your dominant impression with vivid details and examples.
2.The Mexican-American author Richard Rodriguez has written in a narrative essay that he grew up in a home in California in which Spanish was primarily spoken. He gradually learned English and later became a prominent writer and essayist. However, he also felt that his success in America had cost him a high price—his alienation from his past, his parents, and his culture.
Write a short essay about an experience—yours or that of someone you know—that taught you something important. Think about an important experience in which you learned something about yourself. Then, use the following tips to help you complete the assignment:
- Limit your focus. Narrow your topic to one experience and your thoughts about that.
- Organize logically. Most narrative essays use chronological (time) organization, the order in which events occurred.
- Include specifics. Use specific examples and, if appropriate, sensory details to help readers to understand how and why you learned what you did (your main point).
- To expand the essay, you might write about the effects of what you learned. Did it change your life, even in a small way? Did it have an effect on others? Are you a different person now because of what you learned? Why?
