Essay #3

Choose ONE and only one of the following questions. Answer it in a complete and thoughtful essay. Your essay should be a well-developed, clear, logical and complete idea developed from a definite thesis statement. Use the text in all instances to support your answer, but do not merely summarize plot. Refer to specifics in the text. Your paper should be 5-7 pages in length.

Essays must be either typed on a typewriter or printed from a computer. This paper is due on Monday, April 10. Papers handed in late will receive a one grade deduction for each day/class late. I will be happy to look at drafts. In fact, I encourage you to come in with a draft and/or send e-mail with questions.

Read the questions carefully. Support all answers with examples from the text.

1) Write an essay in which you discuss the significance of learning in your early years (let's say up to the age of twelve). How did you do your learning? school? home? television?

2) Discuss your impressions of college. What is what you expected? Why or why not? What's different? How have those impressions (accurate or not) changed you?
