Is it possible to find hope when one is completely surrounded by conflict? The problems with living
in a small town is that innocent victims are surrounded by drug use. There are many different
problems when living in a small town, and one of these problems is living in a state of depression.
The entire community is often negatively affected by other people’s choices and is often trapped into
a cycle of abuse. The problem of living in a small town, often leads to depression and drug use which
then negatively affects the entire community. The lives of those living in small town America are
often affected negatively by other people’s choices.

I thought this was really good, but it didn't really talk about the book at all. So if someone where to read it without knowing we are writing on Winter's Bone then they would have no idea what was going on. So I would say just add a little something in about the book and it would be really good. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI really like your first question I think that this question grabs that readers attention and makes him/her realize what a great story this really is. Great start!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Keely, that you need to make sure and introduce Winter's Bone to your reader and make sure that they know you are discussing this as a theme of the novel. You are also a little repetitive about the problem of depression in a small town. I'm very interested to know where you go with your thesis. Great job, and good luck with the rest of your paper!
ReplyDeleteBrooke, May I suggest that you underline your thesis statement for the purpose of peer review. I am unclear exactly which sentence you choose for this purpose (a place you never want for your audience.)How about something like this: "Many socioeconomic conditions existing in the rural United States have led to the current meth epidemic."
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!
Daniel
As of your thesis statement I was not able to clearly identify it. I think you have a good understanding of the story, and once you get going, I think you will do a good job. Be sure not to talk to much about the story in your first paragraph, because then you won't have too much to talk about in the rest of your essay.
