My understanding of the pre-writing assignment is that we will be using all 3 resources provided to us, “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, “The Overview of “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” by Dean Rader, and the sample student essay to formulate the foundation of what will ultimately guide us to write essays efficiently and as smoothly as possible. As long as all 3 resources and the supporting guide posted on week 1 are used it will allow me to formulate my thesis statement and compose a strong essay. As well as to properly write an essay, as stated in step 3 of the pre-writing assignment, by following activities 5, 6, 7, and 8 which include sources as how to follow proper MLA format and quoting primary/secondary sources correctly, The purpose of the pre-writing assignment is to break down the story by Gabriel Marquez and use the resources provided to us so we can layer the similarities within each theme of our primary and secondary sources to create our main idea.

Hello, is Socorro I,m agree with you, the author use the resueces to create an imaginary scenary.
Hi Liliana. Your understanding of the pre-writing assignment is very clear. With the overview, and the sample essay, you’re not just gathering information; you’re actively engaging with the material to understand how to structure your own essay. This method will allow us to see how to extract key themes and ideas, which will help in formulating a coherent thesis statement. However, don’t forget that the sample essay is not necessarily a format to follow since it has some mistakes that we need to avoid. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Good afternoon, I agree with your discussion post. The resources definitely will be beneficial to us all when it comes to making a great literary essay. You understood what you had to do for each activity as well as the overall purpose of these activities. All of these activities will help us with reading a story and having the ability of finding out the main idea then being able to make a thesis statement out of it. You did a great job :)!
