Analysis
« on: November 01, 2012, 04:49:13 pm »
Hey I forgot to say that elliot does blah blah to persuade reader that books should be prevented from being "entirely swept away" in the conclusion i just said towards her point of view but i stated her point of view as her not wanting books to be swept away in the intro..is that fine or should i have restated it in my ending? would i lose marks? also in text response i did a topic sentence related to topic but then exemplified my argument with an off-topic example and then re-linked the topic sentence argument to the prompt.. will I lose marks? I didn't go completely off topic as my example included what my argument was..hardly anyone here does the reluctant fundamentalist so its hard to use the example..

I'm not too sure what you're getting at with the TR, but I studied The Reluctant Fundamentalist so maybe let me know the example and I'll see? I know I was told by an assessor in practice exams not to drift too far from the topic!

I did "Why did Changez feel out of place in Pakistan and New York?" and in one of my paragraphs I did the topic sentence on how his shifting identity causes him to feel out of place in either nation and then i went on to exemplify his shifting identity by going pretty deep with his sexual encounter with Erica and i stated why she went into a nostalgia due to his identity shifting to chris and then i ended it by linking it to the prompt saying it disallows him to "belong" in either America or Pakistan or something along the lines of that..Was using his sexual encounter and explaining Erica's nostalgia a little due to it going off topic? thanks, and if so how many marks would I lose?
