IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Watch the 1956 film, The Bad Seed—https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048977/Links to an external site.
If this were your child, how would you react? What might you do differently if you were Rhoda Penmark’s parent? What might you do the same as her parents in the film? Your essay should be loaded with evidence from the film. These are the questions that have to be answered
NOTE: WRITE IT AS IF IT IS A QUESTION ASKED TO YOU BUT FOLLOW MY VISION ON THAT BECAUSE IT’S A SUBJECT ALREADY DEBATED;
SO IT’S GOING TO SOUND WEIRD IF I ALREADY GAVE A THOUGHT AND IN THE ESSAY SOMETHING ELSE APPEARS… SO I DISCUSSED THIS SUBJECT AND MY THOUGHT WAS I WOULD PREFER THE CHILD TO SEE SPECIALISTS, DOCTORS, THERAPISTS AND THE MAIN REASON FOR US TO HAVE THESE TEN SOURCES IS BECAUSE WHEN READING THIS ESSAY WE HAVE TO FEEL LIKE ALL OF THE SOURCES ARE SUPPORTING THE SAYINGS AND ALL OF THEM GO THE WAY YOU WOULD DEAL WITH A CHILD LIKE THIS. I HAVE SOME LINKS THAT CAN HELP WITH IT: SAMHSA / CDC / WHO / NIMH / MAYO / NAMI / NLM / CHILD MIND INSTITUE / NIH / PSYCHOLOGY TODAY / medlineplus / PSYCHCENTRAL. I GAVE YOU 12 SO YOU CAN CHOOSE.
WHEN WRITING LONG PARAGRAPHS TRY TO MENTION AS MANY IN-TEXT CITATIONS AS YOU CAN ( NOT TOO MANY ALSO ) FROM THE TEN SOURCES.
Cite your sources using both (BOTH!) in-text citations and Works Cited page citations
Introduction: Introduce the topic, assuming the readers do not know your writing prompt. Make sure your introduction grabs the readers’ attention, so good hook, good thesis… Use at least one introduction strategy to begin the essay in an interesting way. End the introduction by stating your thesis statement, which should include a forecasting statement (sub-divisions). Make sure your reasons for holding your position are clear. WHEN STATING IN THE THESIS IT’S PREFERABLE IF YOU MENTION THAT: THE MOTHER IS DEALING WITH THE CHILD THAT WAY, THIS IS WHAT I DON’T AGREE WITH HER… AND THIS IS WHAT I WOULD DO….. ( DO NOT FORGET TO FOLLOW MY VISION ABOUT IT, I WOULD LIKE THE CHILD TO GO SEE SPECIALISTS AND STUFF… )
Body Paragraphs: Each of the reasons introduced in your first paragraph should now be placed in a separate paragraph or paragraphs and supported with details, evidence, information, and examples. Follow the MEAL PLAN for each body paragraph (MEAL: MAIN IDEA/EVIDENCE/ANALYSIS/ LINK.) ANALYZE and EXPLAIN. Provide evidence and examples, and analyze those evidence and examples.
Conclusion: End your piece in a strong and interesting way. Sum up your main argument, but also include a strong conclusion strategy. The conclusion should create a sense of finality or closure and give the readers a feeling of completion and balance. Sometimes writers like to add a “final blast”—a big emotional or ethical appeal—that helps sway the audience’s opinion.
Citations: Make sure to cite all of your sources, even those you do not directly quote in your essay. Information and ideas must be cited, as well. You should include at least ten sources to help support your discussion. Please note that Wikipedia, About.com, Cliffnotes.com, and other similar sources should not be used. Use credible sources. At least ten credible sources should be included. You should cite your sources using MLA in-text citationsLinks to an external site. (signal phrases and parenthetical documentation) and a Works Cited page.
Appreciate you ALREADY!
