‘That what does not kill us makes us stronger.’ Is this the result of conflict?


I have my SAC next week, does anyone have any ideas about how I should approach the topic (for an expository piece)?

I'm doing the Crucible and we also have to include 4-5 other texts/sources... can anyone suggest some? I'm also really confused about the structure- how to incorporate the text?

HELP PLEASE!!
Thanks :)

-conflict is needed for social progression, in the society we need competition to grow, and push us.

this is how i structure mine, topic sentence -> explain the idea(2-3)lines -> talk about supplementary source -> link to text (similarly the author reflects this in...)-> give example from text -> link back to topic (thus conflict will only fuel great desire?)

Just curious, are we suppose to link to the text for every idea we discuss? or is it possible to leave a paragraph solely for that..?  But great structure  ;)

I'm sure you can, as long as you remember that the context prompt should be drawing from the primary text the most.

thanks! but what do you mean by "in the society we need competition to grow"?

yeah ill probably structure it that way

but ive always had trouble finding supplementary sources, especially when im writing about internal conflict that 'ordinary' people have

That was probably a tad vague and off topic, but its a good concept to know. In society,we strive on competition,we strive to improve. Look at technological advances, it is a constant battle to best one another. you may lose the one battle but not the war, it can fuel greater determination to succeed in the future.
