ESSAYS ARE NOT FORMULAIC-meaning, they do not have to go in an exact order, as long as all the information is there. It just needs to make sense and move from one idea to the next in an organized way.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Yes you do have to copy this: If you do not have these done, I will not accept it.
For you essay you must:
*Use characterization, external conflict, and internal conflict to describe the struggle of John Proctor
*Explain how the literary term is portrayed in the story USING SPECIFIC EXAMPLES FROM THE TEXT (not specific quotes, since you won't have it with you--but you can say Proctor denies the presence of God in Salem, rather than "God is dead").
*CONNECT the use of this term/example to the lens (how does it help the author display this point).
*Have an introduction that outlines the essay with a clear, definite thesis statement
*Have paragraphs with topic sentences and transitions
*HIGHLIGHT-in two separate colors-in one color:examples from the text
-in another color: your analysis (for emailing use italics and underlining)
*Star or underline your thesis statement
*Use at least 2 unit vocabulary words
****FINAL COPY, HIGH-QUALITY WORK ONLY---DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO TURN IN ANYTHING ELSE

William Faulkner once wrote, "the only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself." What does this mean? Something along the lines of--the purpose of literature is to show the internal struggles of man as he attempts to live in the world around him. In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, the character of John Proctor presents an example of a tragic hero, who attempts to find inner peace within himself despite the sins he has committed.
William Faulkner once wrote, "the only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself." I agree with this quote because as a reader, you have to be able to relate to the character and his struggles to get any sort of meaning out of the text, and internal struggles are universal. In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, the character of John Proctor presents an example of a tragic hero, who attempts to find inner peace within himself despite the sins he has committed. He not only has conflicts with the town and Puritan society, but within himself, and they are struggles most people can identify with: those of love, personal pride, and conscience.
