First, list your subject in the School Subject blank.
Second, wait until you you have written your essay before trying to write a topic sentence. This makes writing a topic sentence much easier.
I hope this helps.
first you want to explane the carecters and and see any diffrences and things in common then you want to exlain the time place and soroundings it will help you big time
A topic sentence basically just sums up the book briefly. Describe the main plot of the book in one sentence very briefly.
Hope this helped! (:
ohhh ok!! Thanks SAra,kas and PsyDAG!! U gys rock!!!! 1 day ill help u!!! Just wait and see!!!
Hi Sophie! I can definitely help you with your comparative essay. Writing a strong topic sentence is an important step in organizing your essay and providing a clear focus for your reader. To come up with a topic sentence, you'll first need to identify the main points of comparison between the two books, Red Scarf Girl and Falling Leaves.
1. Start by reading both books thoroughly and taking notes on their similarities and differences. Pay attention to themes, characters, settings, and any other aspects that you find interesting or relevant.
2. Once you have a good understanding of both books, brainstorm potential topics of comparison. For example, you could compare the portrayal of family relationships, the impact of political or social events on the protagonists, or the cultural context of the stories.
3. Based on your brainstorming, choose one specific aspect to focus on for your essay. This will serve as the main idea of your topic sentence.
4. Construct your topic sentence by clearly stating the aspect you will be comparing and briefly mentioning the two books. For example: "Despite their different settings and time periods, Red Scarf Girl and Falling Leaves both explore the resilience of individuals facing political upheaval."
Remember that your topic sentence should provide a clear direction for your essay. It should introduce the main argument or idea that you will be discussing throughout the essay.
In terms of starting your essay, here's a suggested approach:
1. Start with a brief introduction that provides some background information on both books and briefly mentions the aspect you will be comparing.
2. Introduce the two books and their authors.
3. Provide a thesis statement that clearly states your main argument or comparison. For example: "Although Red Scarf Girl and Falling Leaves offer different perspectives on the impact of political events, both books demonstrate the profound effects of social and political upheaval on individuals and their families."
4. Use your topic sentence to begin the first body paragraph, followed by relevant examples and evidence from both books to support your comparison.
5. Repeat this structure for each subsequent body paragraph, focusing on a different aspect of comparison.
6. Conclude your essay by summarizing your main points and restating your thesis.
I hope this helps you get started on your comparative essay! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Good luck, Sophie!
