Essay # 2 Assignment Relationships, Communication, and/or Realizations (epiphanies or a new understanding) Please write a 5-paragraph essay with an introduction, conclusion, and three body paragraphs. All paragraphs should be 6-10+ sentences long. The document should have 1000 + words. The Introduction should begin broadly and end your introduction with a thesis statement. The thesis statement should be in the introduction and clarify the intention of the essay. If you can’t fit all your intentions into one sentence, so be it, but I should (as a reader) know what your plan is at the close of your introduction. The Conclusion should share a final thought that drives the thesis to its logical conclusion. What ideas or thoughts go beyond your analysis? Try and keep a “golden nugget” for the conclusion. Also, when an introduction and conclusion have a connection, it can be dynamic. Body paragraphs should have a wise conceptually based topic sentence. All material within each body paragraph should fit accurately inside. No authors or titles of essays we read for this assignment should be in your topic sentences. Do Not use yourself as an example within this essay. Remember this is a formal college essay. This is not a personal narrative. You must use at least three quotes from the short story suggested for this assignment. You must use more than one of the readings. Do not simply drop a quote. Use context so the reader understands why you’ve used the quote. Share analysis and inference to show your deep understanding of the pieces. PROMPT Please write an essay about relationships/realizations. Again, your essay needs to begin broadly. Brainstorm and consider aspects of relationships or realizations as they relate to the three (or more) short stories you just read and analyzed. The deeper you go in your analysis (looking at the parts that make up the whole– the elements of fiction) the better your paper will be. Please attempt to use the terms in your essay; Irony, Symbolism, Plot, etc. The broad topic is relationships/realizations, so considering the myriad aspects of both, it would be wise to brainstorm keeping in mind the stories as they relate to the topic. For instance, manipulation, communication, gaslighting, pressure assumptions made, confusion and miscommunication, old problems that surface within a relationship, hope, future worry, frustration, no communication, jealousy, envy, anger, misinterpretation, unhappiness, feeling stuck, hopelessness, ignorance, naivete, sexism, bullying, love, desire, righteousness, stupidity, more? Ways to get to a thesis statement: How do relationships form and inform people’s lives? How do relationships shape people’s behavior? What do we learn from relationships (new, complicated, unsuccessful, weathered, stressful)? How do relationships lead us to make particular decisions? How do these relationship decisions shape our lives and forge the paths we take? What happens when someone changes our lives (for better or worse)? At what point do we realize new directions or changes within us within a relationship? Do relationships assist us in making discoveries about ourselves? Are these epiphanies? And what follows? Take into consideration the couple in “Hills Like White Elephants,” Louise in “The Story of an Hour,” the generic couple(s) in “Happy Endings,” the narrator or other characters in “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver, Connie in “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?,” and the narrator in “The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven.” Think in THREES. Create topic sentences that reflect an idea you have or an aspect of relationships, communication skills, or epiphanies that you explain, using the stories as support for these ideas. All paragraphs should be 6-10 sentences long. Your document should be 1000 + words. The Introduction and Conclusion should have a relationship. Begin broadly and end your introduction with a thesis statement. The thesis statement should be in the introduction and clarify the intention of the essay. If you can’t fit all your intentions into one sentence, so be it, but I should (as a reader) know what your plan is at the close of your introduction. The Conclusion should share a final thought that drives the thesis to its logical conclusion; a “golden nugget.” Body paragraphs should have a wise conceptually based topic sentence. All material within each body paragraph should fit accurately inside. There should be no personal story within this essay. You must use at least three quotes from the short stories for this assignment. I would like to see the use of three different stories for the three different body paragraphs. Remember to start with a conceptual topic sentence: If a couple can’t honestly communicate, then their conflicts will destroy their relationship. Remember that short stories should be introduced formally: In the short story “Hills like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway, the girl traveling with the American seems to be lost in her own emotions and the worry they both carry. Add summary or backstory to help the reader understand: They are traveling in Europe and have hit a crossroads. Their discussions are indirect and convoluted about the woman’s pregnancy and abortion they are headed to Barcelona to get. Connect your point: Communication is so important within a relationship, but the couple’s communication isn’t going so well. He seems to be talking over her feelings. She finally says to him, “Will you please please please please please please please please stop talking?” (Hemmingway 103). Add further analysis and a concluding sentence to your paragraph: The girl is tired of hearing the same thing from the American, her lover, and wishes perhaps for him to say something else like, “Let’s have this baby” or “You look beautiful pregnant” but he only speaks (indirectly) of the abortion’s ease and seeming insignificance. Neither are direct or completely honest. If a couple can’t honestly communicate, then their conflicts will destroy their relationship.

Neither are direct or completely honest. Answering one, two, or three of the prompt questions thoughtfully often helps you derive a THESIS. I would answer all of them and relate the stories to your answers then create body paragraphs first. After that, see what you have and then create a thesis. This exercise is to create focus, not expand it. Answering all the questions is for exploration to see which one fits best for you. You DO NOT have to incorporate all these ideas into your essay.
