I don’t understand it >.>

alones (alones):

Read the following paragraph closely, paying attention to the topic sentence (which is italicized). A path represents life in many ways. A path may be well-worn and traveled. Sometimes a path is winding and full of undergrowth. Sometimes a path is very level, and the surroundings are serene. Paths often fork into several directions. Paths oftentimes have landmarks and signs for travelers. Paths have an end. Write a point-by-point comparison paragraph using the same topic sentence, but making life be the subject of the supporting sentences.

OpenStudy (adonine):

Is this the question?

alones (alones):

Yes the question (:

OpenStudy (adonine):

OMG rlly

OpenStudy (adonine):

ok whts up @AloneS

OpenStudy (adonine):

Umm did you read the question bruh?

OpenStudy (adonine):

@studio-games

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

@AloneS, what is italicized?

alones (alones):

I don't know

OpenStudy (talia.g):

italicized is letters that are in italics

OpenStudy (talia.g):

ill show u an example in a sec

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

I know what italicized means, OpenStudy doesn't show the italics for some reason.

OpenStudy (talia.g):

𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥

OpenStudy (talia.g):

ohhhh ok

alones (alones):

"A path represents life in many ways."

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Alright, so there's your topic.

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

So, you can use the following sentences as your comparisons.

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Take for example the first sentence after that: "A path may be well-worn and traveled. " To use this as a support and add life to it, you could do something like this: "Life's path may be well-worn and traveled as our days go by."

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

You just have to see the symbolism in it. "A path may be well-worn and traveled." Can compare to the path of life that many people take, perhaps in the sense of many people going down the path of college. Does that make sense? @AloneS

alones (alones):

Umm like this: There is a different kind of paths, for instance soem of thema re big, others are small

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Kind of, yeah. You just have to use the examples in your paragraph and compare them to real life examples. Here's an example to start with: A path represents life in many different ways. It can be well-worn and traveled, like a path that many people choose to go down.

alones (alones):

Okay

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Do you have an idea for the second example? "Sometimes a path is winding and full of undergrowth."

alones (alones):

Too much people walk on it

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Actually, the opposite. If it's full of undergrowth, that means it's covered in plants, meaning not many people walk down it. If it's windy, that makes it risky.

alones (alones):

Oh, like the edge of the road?

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Yeah, kind of. Or like going hiking on a risky trail that not many people walk on.

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

It would look something like this: http://cdn.c.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I00002cEaqmXTFdk/fit=1000x750/Undergrowth-Path.jpg

alones (alones):

Okay Not many people walk on this road. Some hike thrue this trail others walk there escaping something

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

That's a good start. :) Maybe try to add something about it being risky.

alones (alones):

Lool ughh i don't know

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

It's kind of tricky, I know. We'll work through it.

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Sometimes a path is winding and full of undergrowth- a risky path of life which many will not choose to take.

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Or, using what you wrote and adding to it: Sometimes a path is winding and full of undergrowth, not many people walk on this road. Some may choose to hike through this risky trail, living a life full of excitement and risk. @AloneS

alones (alones):

Thanks that makes sence now.

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

You're welcome. Do you want to go through the rest or do you think you have it?

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

@AloneS

alones (alones):

I think it understand it @Irrati0nal thanks
