Write a multi-paragraph essay that gives your opinion of Didion's theme or life lesson in "Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream." Do not just summarize Didion's essay or tell the story of the death of Cork. Write your thoughts on what Didion hopes her readers will understand about life, people, suspicion, and so on, by her telling of the events of the essay.
Write an introduction that gives background info and ends in a sentence that explains what you believe is Didion's theme.

Write a conclusion that finishes your thoughts, and does not just repeat what you already wrote about.
