Answer 7

and my project is to write a comparative essay about these two books.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

really? ohh.. noo.

Answer 12

just mention a few dont make a grocery list

Answer 13

it is mainly about similarities

Answer 14

How do I do that? It's because my purpose of my essay to the readers is to argue that both of the books' protgonists live in poor backgrounds but yet manage to overcome their struggles and become successful thus give hope for the rest of us

Answer 15

I have my thesis: "Jeannette Walls’ and Frances Nolan’s stories of upward social mobility, give hope to all those who are less fortunate by demonstrating the ability to overcome dire situations."

Answer 16

but I remember my teacher said I have to put a rationale into my thesis..

Answer 17

that is a good thesis

Answer 18

if you were the one marking my paper, what would you look for in my paper with my thesis?
Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with my main points.. ahh.

Answer 19

i would look for some high strong points IE them showing faith to others and focus on likenesses

Answer 20

ohh... 'cause like i have some main points but i don't know if they make sense.

Answer 21

http://www.eslbee.com/compcont.htm this should help you out

Answer 22

what are they

Answer 23

These are basically my main points sentences:

Jeannette’s lack of proper education during her early-life and Frances’ formal education in her early-life earn them the dedication required to excel among their peers. The mentorship and support that Jeannette and Frances receive from their key family members and other people shape their values, and increase their ability of reaching their dreams. Finally, the protagonists’ self-determination shown through their optimism and resilience increases their likelihood of reaching their goals, despite of living in poverty.

Answer 24

Finally, the protagonists’ self-determination shown through their optimism and resilience increases their likelihood of reaching their goals, despite of living in poverty


i would write: Finally, the protagonists’ self-determination shown through their optimism and their resilience increases their likelihood of reaching their goals, despite of living in poverty

Answer 25

but other than that looks good to me

Answer 26

oh.. I'm kind of iffy about my first main point-- education.

Answer 27

can you make 3 facts about it?

Answer 28

about education?

Answer 29

im sure you could but before you make ur final decision look at that

Answer 30

look at what?

Answer 31

the education of them both
can you find 3 supporting facts?

Answer 32

it's just that both of these protagonists live in poverty except how they have their education is different. Jeannette Walls in The Glass Castle is home schooled during her early-life, her parents teach her the concepts of geology, science, phyiscs, math... but they are always moving from one place to another and so whenever the parents enroll them toa school, they have to move again.

Answer 33

yes if you can make it into 3-5 sentences its a perfect one

Answer 34

But instead of letting herself become like her parents who don't achieve their dreams and goals, she works hard to get through to it and realized that they needed to work towards a brighter future. ahhh, I'm not making any sense D;

Answer 35

yes you are it is perfect sense

Answer 36

noo, because how can I make a point about it to my thesis?

Answer 37

let m,e show you

Answer 38

okay, I'm sorry for bothering you D;

Answer 39

she works hard to achieve her dreams and goals , although she lives in poverty

Answer 40

then go into detail about her parents not achieving their dreams etc.

Answer 41

and you are NOT bothering me i am happy to help

Answer 42

Ohh.. I'm kind of getting it.

So for my first point education, how can talk about it? eek.

Answer 43

like I'm having trouble connecting my main points with my thesis because for education, Jeannette Walls' parents homeschooled Jeannette and her siblings and they always moved from one place to another to hopefully make their parents' dreams come true (dad wanted to find gold and mom wanted to be an artist) so they keep moving to different places to find opportunities and to get away from the trouble they havea cused in the previous town they lived at. So whenever the parents enroll Jeannette in a school, to get proper education they remove her again because they have to move again,

Answer 44

But instead of letting herself become like her parents who keep moving to find better opportunities, she makes a plan, sticks with it and is straightforward about it.

Answer 45

okay you say this
Jeannette’s lack of proper education during her early-life due to her parents homeschooling her and her siblings caused her earn them the dedication required to excel among their peers. So whenever the parents enroll Jeannette in a school, to get proper education they remove her again because they have to move again.



ok ay now give me more detail about the other protagonist and go from there

Answer 46

and for Frances Nolan her parents have given up their dreams a loong time ago to focus on their children's well-being and dreams. They already understood that education is the key for her success and the key to separate her from becoming like the other children living in poverty and living the same lives her parents are living.

Answer 47

Answer 48
