In the week 1 for activity #10, tells me to write prewriting, so prewriting is a multi-layered process in which I will evaluate student sample literary essay. There are steps for that; first, I will read the short story “The Most Handsome Drowned Man” which is primary source written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, then I will read the short overview (secondary source) by Dean Rader, which is basically him analyzing “The Most Handsome Drowned Man.” After that I will come up with thesis which is a main idea for my essay. I will insert quotes to argue my thesis and use proper MLA citation. In my understanding the purpose of prewriting is to figure out how I fell about the story, what the main idea I want to discuss and follow all the instructions. Knowing exactly in what direction I want to move with my essay will help me avoid getting carried away and help me to stay on topic.
