Assignment on “Cell One”
Write a paragraph on the following:
How does Nnamabia change by the end of the story and why?
Make sure your paragraph:
¨ starts with an analytical topic sentence (presents an idea or opinion about the story).
¨ focuses on a single, thought-provoking reason for the change in Nnamabia’s character (don’t give many different reasons).
¨ uses at least three brief, embedded quotations to illustrate, support, and/or develop the reason you give.
¨ analyzes the quotations (does not summarize them). Remember that these quotations should support a reason that is implied in the story but not directly stated.
¨ has smooth transitions from one point to another.
Also, be sure your paragraph:
¨ does not use “I” (first person).
¨ is double-spaced.
¨ uses the present tense (e.g. “He runs,” not “he ran”).
*** Don’t summarize the plot; assume your reader already knows it.
*** Please post your paragraph on your personal website, under "Homework"
