Here’s what my teacher wants in this assignment
Assignment 4B – Non fiction:
Write an analytical essay in which you analyse Daniel Magruders article My Best Friend Died by Suicide. I Wish I Had Seen the Warning Signs and discuss what can be done to help veterans who suffer from trauma.
Part of your essay must focus on the writers use of pathos. In addition your essay must include an analysis of the style of writing in lines 73-88.
Your essay must include references to:
– Daniel Magruders article
– Video: One A Day: Soldiers And Suicide In The U.S. Military
Materials:
– Daniel Magruder, My Best Friend Died by Suicide. I Wish I Had Seen the Warning Signs, an article from The New York Times Magazine website, 2019
– Time Magazine, One A Day: Soldiers And Suicide In The U.S. Military, a video from Time Magazine, 2012
what i want and don’t want:
I didn’t get ‘as many’ direct quote-references in my last assigment, as i would’ve liked – but both my teacher and I liked it anyways.
I would love it, if references to the text is made using specific quotes (not every time, but in between, here and there – my teacher likes that), which backs up the points being made.
– so, you come up with a point and then something is written like ‘we can see that when he says’:…* quote * or vice versa – quote first and then what this has of effect, importance or something else for prescribed points or new points. I think 3-5 quotes would be a good amount.
(this is not including the analysis of line 73-88, where quotations, here, shall be done (not a lot ofc))
