I need an explanation for this Writing question to help me study.
Instruction
The goal is to write a is 4-5 pages double spaced paper on the following prompt
Prompt:“1. According to Rodríguez, who is ultimately to blame for his involvement in gangs and 2. who/what does he credit for “saving” him from gangs? 3. Why are gangs so appealing to some?“
You’ll receive the first 2 pages of the paper, revise it. Then write the rest (roughly 2-3 pages)
Part 1 — revise the paper (see attachment “rough draft”)
- Revise the paper according to the comments (see red font and feedback)
Note: things you need to revise
- Citations (change the rephrase into direct quotes or find other direct quotes that fits the paragraph) 1 per paragraph
- Rewrite the thesis — be sure to answer all prompts in the thesis (1. who is ultimately to blame for his involvement in gangs 2. who/what does he credit for “saving” him from gangs? 3. Why are gangs so appealing to some)
Part 2 — write the rest 2 pages
- Write Every paragraph, with the exception of the introduction and conclusion, should have one direct quote from novel to support your argument
- Be sure to have a topic sentence for every paragraph. h. A topic sentence informs the reader what you will be addressing in the paragraph
- The paper should not read like a summary of the book. You should provide an argument and prove it, using evidence from the novel.
- Write a thoughtful conclusion
note: Do not use outside source (other than the novel), MLA style, rough draft and the rest of paper that you’re going to write has to be connected and fluent)
