ANALYZE TWO ESSAYS
In this discussion, you will share your analysis of two essays. Before you post to the discussion, review the essays;
“The Struggle to Be an All-American Girl,”
(http://www.sabri.org/All-American-Girl.htm)
and
“I’m OK, but You’re Not.”
(http://www.scribd.com/doc/26914461/I-m-Ok-But-Your-Not)
These essays are informal narrations of a personal experience, yet they are very different.
Referring to specific passages in each essay, write a post of at least 250 words in which you state the thesis or main idea of the essay. Then compare the two essays in structure and style. What do you notice about the way each essay begins and concludes, the order of the paragraphs, and the vocabulary used?
The focus of this discussion is on the writing strategies used in the essays, not on personal opinions about the topics of the essays.
