Question

HELP ASAP This is the first paragraph of Tanyika’s analytical essay.

The main character in this story seems foolish at first because she doesn’t follow the advice of the elders in her clan. She is very beautiful, and several young men want to marry her. She refuses all of them, and instead decides to live alone. Later, she avoids starvation by becoming an expert fisherwoman.
What should you say to Tanyika about this paragraph, if you become part of her peer review group?
A)"This summary of the story is very clear. Your first paragraph should state an actual claim about the story, though--something you have to prove."
B)"I think we both agree that the main character should have married when she had the chance. I didn’t like the story much at all. Did you?"
C)"It is impressive how the main character becomes such an expert in a valued activity. However, that’s not really how the story ends."
D)"Clearly, you believe that the main character is a strong young woman who has her own ideas. That’s not how I see it, though."

This summary of the story is very clear. Your first paragraph should state an actual claim about the story, though--something you have to prove."

Step-by-step explanation:

The beginning of an analytical essay should include a debatable claim about the story--an interpretation of events that the writer will support with evidence from the text of the story. It’s a good idea to start with what is working in the essay, though, before pointing out a weakness.
