As I Lay Dying Part 4

Writing:

Essay revolves around an argument (ie. Thesis). Before it, you stick in a hook. Don’t be too broad (only Hawking talks about the beginning of Time). Not a personal opinion. Making a case (legal).

Don’t do the whole book, just a part of it. Just pick one thing and stick to it.

Each paragraph should support your thesis. Each paragraph should also sum up into a supporting point.

Becareful with abstract pronouns. “This concept is important to…” Its completely unnecessary. We know its important.

Go through and just cross out every: is, was, to be.
