Thesis Statements • One sentence • Identify the theme that both “Sometimes My Body Leaves Me” and “Up” share
Structuring Ideas P.E.E. Paragraphs Point: Your idea or argument Example: A quotation or paraphrased example from the poem Explanation: How does your example prove your point? Why does it matter?
P.E.E. Example Point: Both the story of Pan-gu and the Hindu creation myth explain the differences between people. Example: In the story of Pan-gu, “those formed by Nuwa’s own hands became great leaders”, and in the Hindu story, different castes are made by different parts of Purusha’s body. Explanation: This shows that both stories value the natural differences in people’s status and abilities. They suggest that we are born with our skills and cannot change our station in life.
