Mon. Oct. 24, 2016: Step Two of Writing Assignment

Today, you were to have completed the personality outline activity from Friday.
I then gave you the second step in this writing assignment.
I have pasted all of the instructions below.
This is due for Tuesday's class (tomorrow).

Step 2: Now, I want you to create a full paragraph on each characters’ personality trait(s). This means that you will be handing in three paragraphs. This is due for tomorrow, so don’t waste your time.

This is an example body paragraph (note that it does not mention the text it came from. This is because the text will be introduced in an introductory paragraph):

Personality plays a role in one’s decisions. Mary Brown, while controlled by her parents, still has distinct traits. Mary can be defined as intelligent, honest, and dedicated. The reader knows that Mary is intelligent because she never studies for test and quizzes, writes her tests fast, yet she has the highest mark in her class. Mary demonstrates honesty when she refuses to allow Chris, a classmate to copy off of her tests. Even when he offers to help her deal with a bully if she does, she still refuses. The fact that she is dedicated is obvious in that she chastises her brother for breaking her mother’s rules about curfews.  Mary states that, while a small break in the rules might not cause an instant problem, it could lead to bigger ones and for her mother to not be able to control the situation at home. This shows that she is willing to support people who are in charge. Mary’s personality then, is one that, intelligence aside, would be easy for a person in power to manipulate.
