The question is: "Transitions make people reassess who they are and what they value" Discuss the statement above in relation to your prescribed text The story of Tom Brennan and a related text of your own choosing.

Hi!

I don't do your text but here is a structure I generally use for Mod C essays:

Intro
: Answer the question, introduce the prescribed + related text and how they relate to the question e.g. yes, transitions have made Tom and the protagonist in your related re-evaluate their identity and values

Paragraph 1: Before the transition e.g. what Tom's initial attitudes and values were

Paragraph 2: Process of transition e.g. how did he react, maybe there are some key individuals that allowed him to transition?

Paragraph 3: Consequences of transition, which you can then link back to the question, showing how Tom has reassessed his identity and values

Sorry if this wasn't specific, hope it helps! :)

EDIT: When answering these questions, rephrase the question's wording throughout, a.k.a. don't keep using the words reassess and values, use synonyms instead~
