Assignment task:
Construct a microtheme (a thesis statement and two long/analytical body paragraphs) answering the question: What do you think about the end of the book To Kill a Mockingbird?
Use this thesis (alter/improve if needed): The ending of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird provides a powerful and thought-provoking conclusion to the novel's exploration of racial injustice and the loss of one's innocence.
Use this topic sentence for paragraph 1 (alter/improve if needed): The recurring theme of racism is highlighted through the unjust trial and conviction of Tom Robinson in the novel's conclusion, further emphasizing the reality and consequences of prejudice in society.
For paragraph 2, construct a topic sentence that talks about the loss of innocence and how it relates to being a mockingbird. It should be something that is going to be proven and have a strong meaning.
Make sure the entire essay is analytical, has a few quotes (1-2 per body paragraph) and properly answers the thesis and proves the topic sentences.
