For 3.5 to 5 pages of your best writing, and using the expository essay conventions that we have discussed in class, explain your thesis (opinion) of the following Writing Question: After reading the author's thesis, which is located in the Introduction chapter of The Narcissism Epidemic, do you agree with the author?
Of course, to answer this Writing Question fully and completely, you will need to know what the author's thesis is. Right?
You will need to, of course, integrate quotes from The Narcissism Epidemic to explain your thesis (the "1" in P.I.E.).
The superior essay will focus on one central argument within the authors' comprehensive thesis, and it will magnify this central argument
to get beyond what is obvious.
Grading: This will be graded on a Pass (P)/No Pass (NP) basis. Make an earnest effort on the essay, and you will pass. OK?
REMEMBER: This is a pass/fail essay. I view this essay as a practice essay; I will expect to see your best sentences, and I expect to see that you are trying to use the expository conventions. This essay should represent three weeks-worth of effort.
