AP Lit: Writing a strong introduction for the prose analysis section . . .

Have a look at yesterday's blog if you are interested in sending your stories or poems to the library or to Stelly's. Think of more questions for Paisley Mann, the PHd student from UBC who will be visiting our class next Wed.

Tonight: Re-write your introduction so you ensure you have an insightful answer to the question: How does Desai characterize Arun's experience?

I am going to suggest leaving out the three devices in the intro unless you can say something profound about them. This choice is so that your intro does not sound rote or flat and perhaps influence the marker's attitude to your work.

Keep your audience in mind: well-read English teachers and university profs!!
