Instructions: write a thesis-centered essay of at least 500 words in response to this one question using excerpts from Zadie Smith’s “Joy” and Karen Thompson Walker’s “What Fear Can Teach Us” to support your writing.
Set Z Questions.
The question I choose is in parenthesis and underlined (
Most people think of fear as a purely negative emotion, and joy as a purely positive one, but Walker and Smith do not. Where do you stand?
)
Remember to:
Develop a thesis that takes a clear stance or position.
Organize your thoughts — an outline can help do this.
Use MLA in-text citation to support your claim with quotes or paraphrases from BOTH the Thompson Walker and the Smith readings. (You must use at least one cited idea from each reading).
While you can also use your own observations and experiences to develop your claims, the Thompson Walker and the Smith readings must be the primary source for development. Discuss how the citations and ideas are relevant to your thesis.
Include the following information at the beginning of your answer:
First and Last Name:
Class and Section #:
Professor’s Name:
Set Letter (Set X, Y, or Z):
Question # (The question you have chosen to answer):
This is the question I choose ( Most people think of fear as a purely negative emotion, and joy as a purely positive one, but Walker and Smith do not. Where do you stand?)
