Paragraph Answer for "A Spoiled Man"

Write an answer that is based on information found on the pages you have been assigned. Try, as best you can, to connect what happens on that page to events that occur either before or after in the story. Quote the story at least once, but no more than 20 words, maximum, for all quotes. Identify the page numbers and topic, please, as a heading before your paragraph. See my model answer for more ideas on what to do.

Write between 150 and 200 words. Bring your word processed work to class on Wednesday. 

Link to the story online for easier cut and paste quoting.

After reading all your pitches, I must say, "Bravo"! It will be a fantastic experience to read about all these amazing people. Like Andrew Stanton says at the end of his lecture, " Use what you know. Draw from it. It doesn't always mean plot or fact. It means capturing a truth from your experiencing it, expressing values you personally feel deep down in your core." It seems to me you have done so!

Making a Pitch for Your Narrative Essay

Write a short (100 to 150 word) pitch for your narrative essay idea. Why would we be interested in the person you chose? What makes this person interesting? What influence have they had on you that is interesting to others?
