My understanding of the purpose of the prewriting essay in Week 1 Activity 10, is that this essay is a warm-up compared for the final essay. It allows for the summarization of the final essay. Based on my understanding, the purpose of the pre-writing assignment is to provide a guide and layout of the literary essay. In order to complete this essay, one would have to write a thesis-driven essay discussing one of the ideas expressed in “Overview of ‘The Most Handsome Drowned Man’” by Dean Rader about the story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Just like any other essay, an introduction, body and conclusion will have to be created. Additionally, the essay has to be written in MLA format. The essay requires the following pages, in addition to the introduction conclusion and body, it requires the work cited page, a page for academic integrity and the citations for the stories.

One thought on “Haila Forde Discussion 1”
How you described your understanding and what is expected to be included in the essay was easy to follow. Also, it is a good reminder to include a work cited page, which I know is often forgotten (because I rarely put one), so it is easier to find the source of a quote or idea. To add to what you said, being able to read the sample student essays allows us to see what the finished product of the essay could look like.
