The themes I used are 1. Fear 2. Deceit 3. Forgiveness Do I need a type of human experiences in my intro, or is my text, the crucible, is already a type of human experience?
Try to expand on those ‘themes’ a little more so they become more like CONCEPTUAL STATEMENTS (ie more than one word). Once you flesh them out, you’ll see that they are the human experience relevant part. The text itself is part of the human experience in a very meta way, but you certainly need to mention specific key ideas in your intro e.g. The Crucible explores fear as an emotional vulnerability of the collective human experience, as individuals are rendered powerless against perverse systems of power
So should we be dealing with this one human experience in all three body paragraphs or three different human experiences with one shown in conflict, one in struggle, and one in resolution? For instance, say my human experience is fear of losing your reputation, should I focus on moments that relate to this in the conflict struggle and resolution paragraphs or mix up a different human experience each paragraph?
Hello ignite great vid, I’m doing the Curiois incident of the dog in the night time , and I’m struggling to apply those three body paragraphs structures your recommended for my text , can you guys please help me out it would make my year . Thanks so much
I dont understand, what are the difference between themes and human experiences. Do i make my entire essay on one human experience?. I also don't get the struggle part. Like what about struggle do we turn into a paragraph.
Absolutely, and you SHOULD signpost your body paragraph points throughout the intro. You want to basically end your intro with the sentiment from your final body paragraph (resolution). So your intro be something like this, sentence by sentence: 1. Thesis responding to question (overall argument) 2. Foreground the CONFLICT but in terms of the question (introduce CONTEXT/FORM/PLOT also) 3. Foreground the STRUGGLE but in terms of the question (introduce CONTEXT/FORM/PLOT also) 4. Foreground the RESOLUTION but in terms of the question (introduce CONTEXT/FORM/PLOT also)
What would you say is the conflict and struggle of past the shallows is? ive got a rough idea but struggling to put it into words, ive figured the resolution would be harrys death and finding peace and freedom? thanks so much!
Hi, Just to confirm we need introduction and conclusion at the end right ? Also can this structure be used for Paper 1 of section 2 for Billy Elliot essay ? Thank you
Hey i've got my trials coming up on Monday and i've just got a question. My teacher is constantly talking about putting in the purpose/intent of the author for writing the text but she vaguely says how to do it. Where in the essay am I meant to mention the intent/ purpose of the author for writing the text? Am i meant to talk about it in every paragraph?
Mention it in every paragraph. Context/purpose is very important; the text is an allegory thus it is a reflection of Miller's context--you need to always be considering how the themes/ideas you are dissecting relate, mirror or clash with his context, and thus his intent and purpose. My teacher said aim for contextual/purpose links every 2-4 sentences at least. Ensure you mention the overall intent in the intro first though! I hope this helps.
Sorry if this doesn't get to you in time but YES, purpose/intent isn't something that you isolate in an essay. The purpose/intent underpins the entire text and so must be intertwined with every part of your essay. In terms of how you practically speak about this, you can still make all the points that you're making - just occasionally (at least once per paragraph) EXPLICITLY state that the composer "intended to challenge/reflect..." etc. so the marker knows you're aware of the importance. Another good line is "Miller is RESPONDING to [insert contextual influence]..."

@@jeddle so is this example is for the first sentence of the intro?
@@jacksonliu6396 First topic sentence* The first intro sentence could be similar but must be framed in terms of the question!

Yes I am wondering this too.

Thanks Johnny
Such a useful video!
I dont understand, what are the difference between themes and human experiences. Do i make my entire essay on one human experience?. I also don't get the struggle part. Like what about struggle do we turn into a paragraph.
For a structure like this, could you devise a way to signpost the arguments in the introduction? Thanks.
Absolutely, and you SHOULD signpost your body paragraph points throughout the intro. You want to basically end your intro with the sentiment from your final body paragraph (resolution). So your intro be something like this, sentence by sentence:
1. Thesis responding to question (overall argument)
