Ms. sue for the persasive essay on glass castle, you tell me to give examples in essay to prove thesis which be that her father be better parent.
The teacher say there have to be 4 bodies. So the first one be introduction, second one and third one be examples and fourth one be conclusion?
For main points to prove that father be better parent I have that he do activities with them meaning spend time with them and show affection. For second point I have that he care when his children get hurt like when he have the first baby she die and he be really sad about that, unlike mom who don’t care. The third point be that he be helpful, give advice to them, give them teachings about right and wrong. I not sure if this be right and If I cover all the things. I not know what else make him better parent.
also i not get if to do induction or deduction. i think induction be easier because i only have to support main points, deduction i not get the premises.
If I understand your teacher correctly, you only need two points to prove your thesis.
The first paragraph is the introduction and the last paragraph is the conclusion. You only need two other paragraphs
One of your points should be the title of the novel -- "the glass castle." Her father gave her dreams and hope with this fantasy.
I think deduction would be easier. You start with the main premise or thesis. Her father is the better parent. Then, you just need to give examples (proof) of why you made this premise.

thanks very much ms. sue she say also tell flaws he have and that be his drinking where i add this?
I think you can mention his drinking in the introduction paragraph. He was an irresponsible and impractical dreamer. But he was still the better parent.
Thanks very much ms. sue :)
You're very welcome, Mohammad.

It sounds like you have a good start on your persuasive essay! To help you structure your essay and ensure you cover all the important points, I'll provide some guidance.
1. Introduction: Begin with an engaging opening sentence that introduces the topic of your essay, "The Glass Castle" and the thesis statement, which states that the father is a better parent. Give some background information about the book or movie and briefly explain your reasons for believing that the father is a better parent. This will give your readers a preview of the main points you will discuss in your body paragraphs.
2. Body Paragraph 1: The first body paragraph should focus on the father's involvement in his children's lives. Give specific examples of activities or bonding moments he shared with them to support your thesis. This could include instances where he played games with them, helped them with their homework, or engaged in other activities that show he spent quality time with them. Explain how these activities demonstrate his commitment to being an actively involved parent.
3. Body Paragraph 2: The second body paragraph should focus on the father's emotional connection and empathy. Describe situations where the father showed genuine care and concern for his children. The example you mentioned about the father's sadness after the loss of a baby is a good one. Discuss how his emotional response contrasts with the mother's apparent lack of empathy. This will help strengthen your argument that the father is a more nurturing parental figure.
4. Body Paragraph 3: The third body paragraph should highlight the father's guidance and teaching. Give examples of moments where he provided advice or taught his children important life lessons, such as teaching them right from wrong. This could include instances where he imparted wisdom, shared his experiences, or taught them essential skills. By illustrating his role as a guiding figure in their lives, you convey that he is a responsible and caring parent.
5. Conclusion: The conclusion is your opportunity to summarize your main points and restate your thesis in a memorable way. Briefly reiterate the reasons why the father is a better parent and how your examples support this claim. End with a strong closing statement that leaves a lasting impression on your readers.
Remember, it's always a good idea to revise and proofread your essay carefully once you're done writing. This way, you can make sure your arguments are clear, well-supported, and effectively communicate your perspective. Good luck with your essay!
