bldblade 2 / 9 Feb 1, 2012 #1So it's an essay for English and I'm having problems with it. I don't know how to formulate the introduction and the thesis. Would I have to describe my experience or just list the positive things that came out of it.Also, what would be some of the positive effects of something like this ? (I'm thinking about motivation to learn how to swim, learning about the importance of safety).
ScarySubmit 1 / 2 Feb 1, 2012 #2Take it real slow, first describe the setting like how you got there, talk about the characters and set up a plot. Then show the readers how you got in the accident<... IntroThen for your body paragraph describe how this accident had a positive impact on you. so like "to learn how to swim, learning about the importance of safety, ect.." goes here.For you conclusion sum the whole thing up in a four to five sentences.good luck!
OP bldblade 2 / 9 Feb 1, 2012 #3I'm having trouble setting up the introduction. It should end with a thesis.I can't decide how to actually introduce my story.Here's what I have so far:Most of us at one time or another have life-changing experiences. Although some of them could have disastrous effects, others can transform our life in a positive way.(It should be a bigger introduction, but ending with that thesis)And then I guess this should be my body paragraph.Looking back upon my life, I would choose my jet-ski accident as a life defining moment...
