Another Long Way Gone - Essay 2

For this essay, due in your folder by the start of class on Friday if you are in school or not, is a little different than the usual. In this essay, you are going to have 3 body paragraphs instead of 2.

Here is your thesis:

While Ishmael is __________ and __________, he is not __________.

Here are the virtues from which you may choose:

• humble
• decisive
• tolerant
• focused

If you look closely at the prompt, you may notice that you have one extra virtue. Throw it away.  From the list of four, two must describe what Ishmael IS, one must describe what Ishmael is NOT, and one is not to be used.

Each body paragraph must have at least one example/cited quotation.

If you have any questions, please stop in and ask Mr. Cowlin or Mr. Smith for some help.
