The selection “The World on the Turtle’s Back” states the twins “represented two ways of the world which are in all people”: the ‘straight mind’ and the ‘crooked mind.’ You are to write a short essay in which you agree or disagree with this view of human nature. In your first paragraph, you must state your position, and use examples from the story. When providing an example, make sure to include the page number. In the second paragraph you must address why those with an opposing view are misguided. Again provide examples from the story or from your own experience.
After you have posted, make sure that you respond to 2 OTHER CLASSMATES who have posted their response to the prompt above. Your response should be more than “I agree…” or “I disagree…” or anything that does not provide explanation. In complete sentences, write which goal(s) you want to reach this year in my English class. Also, I want to see how you plan on attaining the goal(s) in this classroom. Remember, this is to help you become a successful student. I look forward to working with all of you.
