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"
