Strengths, struggles, and next step
Strength:
Plot structure
Innocent
"I run out of home and grab a stick. I’m running towards the boss man, I keep telling myself I am not afraid! “MUST PROTECT GRANDPA LONGDROP! AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!” I shout and hit the boss man’s hands with the stick, I think it’s broken."
This is the falling action of my story, where the protagonist acts on behalf of his decision.
Supporting Ideas
King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail"
"King’s use of literal and figurative language in this particular sentence of paragraph five is interesting and a bit sincere; “We can never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was “legal” and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was “illegal.” The literal language is “Never forget” and “Hitler did in Germany was “legal’” is figurative."
I used quotes from the letter to backup my ideas and provide evidence.
Type of Characters
I know the different types of characters and how to differ them from each other. (Protagonist, Antagonist, etc.)
Areas That Show Growth:
Quotations
King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail"
"In paragraph three of his letter, King expresses that the African American community can no longer wait for change. He described the unbearable experiences;
When you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate filled policemen curse, kick, brutalize, and even kill your black brothers and sisters with impunity; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an air-tight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society;
In this excerpt, King effectively uses literal examples including “When you have seen” and “the vast majority” along with figurative representation “air-tight cage of poverty” and “kill your black brothers and sisters with impunity.”
Rhetorical Question
Innocent
"why is he talking to Amai?"
rhetorical question asked for effect rather than an actual answer.
Next Step:
I think I need to work on structure a bit more so my essays and writing can be understood better.
