AP Studying: Day 3

Today in class, I decided that the best way to help prepare us for the essay was to have my partners pick an essay prompt and have them write the introduction as homework. Tomorrow in class we will each evaluate each other's introductions and give each other advice on how to improve our thesis statements. I have also been looking over the literary terms.

This is the one I chose:

Choose a novel or play that depicts a conflict between a parent (or a
parental figure) and a son or daughter. Write an essay in which you analyze the
sources of the conflict and explain how the conflict contributes to the meaning of
the work. Avoid plot summary. You may base you essay...

There is usually always conflicts among parental figures and a son or daughter. The child is usually rebellious and refuses to do what that parental figure insists. One of the most famous plays in which this happens and plays a major role in is Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Juliet has always been told to stay away from the Capulets but disregards this when she falls in love with Romeo.  This forbidden love eventually leads to the death of both the main characters. This conflict helps to convey one of the major themes in the play.
