I think that you had good points to the summary...but it was a little short....and I didn't really get what point or topic you were trying to write about????
ReplyDeleteI think you need to work on your introduction paragraph by adding a (thesis). And remember a paragraph should consist of 3-5 sentences. You got good points,but need to give more details of the story.
ReplyDeleteI assume this is your rough draft since it is so short. I agree with the above comments about the need for a clear thesis statement. You made some good points and it's a good start. You will also want to change your title because "A Rose for Emily" is the name of the William Faulkner story, therefore, you will need to come up with an original title for your piece.
ReplyDeleteI think your introduction paragraph needs some work. Adding a thesis will help out alot. It's a good rough draft but just try and add some more details.
