English A Midterm Essay

Multi-Work Theme Essay.                           ___/20 points

This should be a well-formed essay with a clear thesis, ample supporting evidence, strong organization, and editing that has made it very readable! See the rubric given to you by your teacher. 

You should choose one of the following prompts to write about:

OPTION A:

Human versus society is the unifying conflict in the works that we studied this semester. In a unified essay, explore what the authors (Rand/Jackson and Shakespeare) are saying about why the individual often feels at odds with society as a whole as well as your own observations from real life.

Think about this: When should we rely on ourselves and when must we rely on others?


OPTION B:

Individuality is a theme that we’ve explored this semester. In a unified essay, explore what the authors (Rand/Jackson and Shakespeare) are saying about the nature of being an individual as well as your own observations from real life.

Think about this: Is being different a blessing or a curse?
 

 OPTION C:

Decisions and the consequences of those decisions is a theme that we’ve explored this semester. In a unified essay, explore what the authors (Rand/Jackson and Shakespeare) are saying about how we make choice; additionally, draw on your own observations from real life.

Think about this: How do we know that the choices we make are the right choices?
