Choose one of the following writing prompts and write a 5 paragraph essay. That is you should have an introduction, which begins with a topic sentence and ends with the thesis statement for the writing prompt you have chosen. Each body paragraph should, in its topic sentence, point back to your thesis. The topic sentences of your body paragraphs should be the first sentence in your paragraphs, and you should support that topic sentence within that paragraph. Finally, you need a concluding paragraph in which you restate your thesis, summarize your body and then maybe give some sort of advice or observation. You should not include any new support for your thesis in the conclusion. This paper does require research. Please include at least two (2) outside sources to support your position. Also, remember that you need to include quotes or paraphrases from the text as support for your assertions. MLA guidelines should be followed, from the header to the heading to parenthetical citations to the Works Cited page.
