Winston Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 does this make sens guys for an intro for and essay im doing the book is called 'in our town' its a drama play so this is my intro and the question the teacher gave us was "What are the concerns and how are they realised dramatically"? this is my intro: In our town is a very controversial play. Themes have been the key element and the make up of the play. Love, Racism, Mateship, and Heroism, are the main themes in the play. Jack Davis( author) has manifested the themes by the use of subtext, humour, innuendo, etc. cmon guys help out due monday im ****ing mah pants hehee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 well its been a while since i did an essay, but i don't think your supposed to use etc. and what is mateship? ahh nm, an aussie, you mean friendship right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Sounds good so far. A tip though....When you make statements like " Its very controversial" be sure to back this up with reasons/evidence explaining how and why it is controversial. I've seen alot of essays where people make such bold statements and always fall short in marks because they cannot back up what they say. When you write an essay you are making an argument and everything you say needs to have reasons and evidence to suppport it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted April 6, 2002 Author Share Posted April 6, 2002 i thought your intro was suppose to be short so thus u dont explain too much isnt it stating ur thesis hmmmm can anyone help refining it a little?.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Otto Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 "In our town" is a very controversial play in which love, racism, mateship, and heroism dominate the play. Jack Davis has used subtext, humor, and innuendo to expand on these themes. i dunno waht the book is actually about so i cant really expand on this unless u give me some text :D. but gimme some more details and ill try a lil harder at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted April 6, 2002 Author Share Posted April 6, 2002 ok does this make sense?? "In our town" is a very controversial play in which love, racism, mateship, and herroism are the key elements of the play. Jack davis has used a variety of techniques to manifest these themes, some of which are: subtext, humour, and innuendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miran Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 no, crappers don't go backwards - that is a myth - seriously. It is the direction of water input flow that causes the water to turn right or left. The coriolis force effect can only be detected in extremely sensitive laboratory situations, or in a large mass of water where no outside directional influence is permitted.
