Answer 15

Alright a hook and a bridge.

Answer 16

First of all, these are 2 different authors and 2 different stories. What is the topic of your essay? Comparing/contrasting how both authors express their love of nature?

Answer 17

Ok so you need to grab the audiences attention

Answer 18

You're doing an awful job of explaining it then.

Answer 19

you need to make it stand out

Answer 20

Thanks for that input

Answer 21

William Wordsworth and John Muir used similes and allusions to show that nature can bring happiness.

Answer 22

A hook is simply grabbing the attention of the audience. A surprising fact, rhetorical question etc. Basically something that forces the audience to think and engage with your essay.

Answer 23

Like a amusement park!

Answer 24

In "Calypso Borealis" and "I Wandered as a Lonely Cloud" both authors used literary devices to express their emotions through nature. The natural world was a main focus of both stories and was important in setting the mood or tone for the duration of each text.

Answer 25

That would be your thesis statement, thesis statements are 1 to 2 sentences.

Answer 26

ok what about a hook those are so hard i cant think of anything intristing that would move eyes

Answer 27

Grab their attention is what your basically doing. Like Marz. said express the author's feelings toward Nature.

Answer 28

well i dont want to be repetitive in my intro and the thisis talks about the feelings

Answer 29

No a hook is a DELIBERATE attention grabbing statement. i.e. rhetorical questions or surprising facts.

Answer 30

There it is

Answer 31

"Did you know that despite the time period difference between William Wordsworth and John Muir, both authors had similar writing styles that were centered around nature?"

Answer 32

That would be a proper hook that ties into your thesis statement.

Answer 33

wow thats amazing

Answer 34

good ideas from both of you

Answer 35

Well there you go Steam for the hook. Do you still need the bridge?

Answer 36

yes please

Answer 37

Marz. If you may

Answer 38

Do not use what I use word for word unless you want to be flagged for plagiarism, what I write is merely a guideline so you can understand how this works. You still need to write your own to fully learn the material and assignment.

Answer 39

A sentence that bridges the hook to your thesis would be something like "Natural references are abundant in literature published by both authors and is often important for the story's progression and tone"

Answer 40

what if i reword it like for the hook "even though William Wordsworth and John Muir had a big time difference they both wrote similar and wrote about there love for nature"

Answer 41

as long as it is in your own words.. I think that would be fine right?

Answer 42

*their love for nature.

Answer 43

yes

Answer 44

but what would you recommend i include on the bridge

Answer 45

*thumbs up*

Answer 46

all done all turned in moving to outlineing worksheet
