Directions

Tips
In this short essay, be sure that you have the following: an introductory paragraph with a thesis statement, at least one body paragraph with supporting reasons, examples, and quotations from the play, and a concluding paragraph. The thesis statement should represent your main argument analyzing the character you have chosen.

The Thesis Statement
To develop your thesis statement, choose two or three descriptive words to define your character. From these words, what main point could you argue about the character in an essay? This opinion or judgment is your thesis statement. Once you have your thesis, choose supporting evidence (quotations and examples from the play) for the body paragraph.

You may use the following brainstorming questions below to generate ideas if you like. It is fine to continue with your character analysis that you started this week in the discussion area for this essay assignment.

Choose one play, and select one character from that play. Consider these questions as you think about your character: What does he or she want? What conflict does this character encounter? How do they attempt to get their desire? What prevents them from achieving it? Does the character change or grow? What is the resolution by the end of the play for this character? After thinking about these questions, develop your thesis statement.

Staples Response Essay

Writing Prompts for Essay #1 (Exemplification)

Choose ONE of the following prompts below and write an essay that you develop primarily by example, just as both Quindlen and Staples did in their essays. Be sure to choose the prompt you care most about so that the examples are a means of communicating an idea (a thesis), not an end in themselves.

1. Have you ever moved from one place to another? What sort of experience was it? Was there an activity, an experience, or an object that helped ease the transition? Write an essay about leaving an old home and moving to a new one, making sure to address these questions. (Remember, in an essay story–telling exists for the sake of an idea, or ideas. Don’t just tell a story for its own sake.)

2. Consider more broadly than Staples does what it means to alter public space. Staples would rather not have the power to do so, but it is a power, and it could perhaps be positive in some circumstances. Expand on Staples’s essay by examining the pros and cons of altering public space. Use specific examples as your evidence.

3. Klass’s essay explores the “separation between doctors and patients.” Has this separation affected you as a patient or as the relative or friend of a patient? If so, write an essay about your experience. Did the medical professionals rely heavily on jargon? Was their language comforting, frightening, irritating? Based on your experience and Klass’s essay, do you believe that the separation between doctors and patients is desirable? Explain.

REMEMBER: Make sure your essay—regardless of the prompt you choose—abides by the points provided in the “Graded Essay Standards” doc in the Blackboard Classroom.
