Ms J said...

sarah said...

okay. so mrs. jones im compleatly blocked on how to start a body paragraph without sounding elementary!!!!

Ally said...

so about the first body paragraph...does it need to be typed when we turn it on monday?

Ms J said...

Ally's question first, because it is easier to answer: no, your body paragraph does not have to be typed.

Sarah: Creating a topic sentence that avoids the cliche is tricky. How about something like....One of the most effective techniques that Edwards uses to persuade his congregation to immediately seek salvation is through the use of hard-hitting metaphors that clearly illustrate the power of God's anger.

Shoot something out and I'll check back later...

okay so i was reading and i have no idea how they passed cario and how they ended up at the granger family! im soo lost!


also i forogt what a thesis statment was supposed to be again. the into paragraph is the heardest!

Ally said...

yeah i have the same question...cuz i know they passed cairo but i'm not sure how they realized it. But i do know that Huck washed up on shore and was discovered by the grangerford's dogs and thats when they let Huck stay with them. hopefully that makes some sense...

but the thesis statement for our paper basically is the overall main point. what exactly do u think are the reasons for edwards use of figurative language in order to persuade his congregation? so whatever your answer is to that question would be your thesis

sarah said...

thanks so much ally your a life savor i needed to get it done and it was getting late!



*not about english but do you have any info on prom committee??? if you do let me know!*

Ms J said...

About Cairo. They knew they had passed it because Cairo was a FREE STATE. After they passed it they wound up in a SLAVE STATE again. That's a big deal considering Huck is accompanied by a runaway slave.

um do we need to put a header on our paper?
