How do I correctly use intensive pronouns? Writing: 1. INFORMATION/EXPLANATORY:In the Diary of a Young Girl, Anne struggles with becoming who she really wants to be because of the frustrations she feels with her mother and her sister, Margot. Describe how living in a secret hiding place and in such close proximity to her family and others is a struggle for Anne. Is she able to become who she really wants to be? Explain what changes she experiences and what they teach her about life. Provide details on the personal problems and encounters that Anne Frank endured in the hiding place that helped her become the young girl that she was. 2. INFORMATION/EXPLANATORY: In Anne Frank’s, Diary of a Young Girl, one of the common subjects that Anne writes about in her diary entries is the conflict and differences between her parents and herself. In addition, Anne writes extensively about how young people are viewed and treated by the older generations. Think about the ideas that Anne Frank presented in her diary entry on July 15, 1944, and other important diary entries as well. Describe how Anne Frank’s experiences as a young person shaped her beliefs and views about youth and the younger generation. Examine the similarities and differences between Anne Frank’s views on the younger generation and yours, and explain when an adolescent becomes an adult and an “independent thinker.” Support your answer using evidence from the text. 3. INFORMATION/EXPLANATORY: “Declaration of War on Japan” and “Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat: Address to Parliament on May 13, 1940” are famous speeches given during World War II. They were designed to elicit an audience response from listeners. Compare and contrast these two speakers’ messages and their uses of language. Analyze the speeches’ subject, mood, tone, and use of sensory imagery. Support your analysis with examples and details from the speeches. 4. ARGUMENT: In several of the texts that we have read in this unit, the main characters have shown us how mature and immature that they can behave and portray themselves. In choosing one of the following texts, Diary of a Young Girl, “Songs of the Trees,” or “Marigolds,” in what ways is the main character more like an adult than a child? What can the main character’s actions and behaviors tell us about young adults growing up in society? Do you believe that external events and conflicts force a child to act more like an adult? Support your answer using evidence from the text.
