Friendship Illustration Essay





Friendship Illust ration Essay



Goal

To write a 5 paragraph essay illustrating the importance of an essential issue in

friendship. Using scenarios as your specifics, demonstrate that a single specific

issue is essential to understanding friendship. Write to demonstrate that

everyone will agree that if they want to understand friendship, they have to

deal with your issue.



2 Formats

 3 Short Scenari os: Each of your body ¶s should begin with a topic

sentence, a clarifier, and then an explanation of a scenario that illustrates the

crucial issue of friendship you are examining. Following the scenario, each

three specifics will illustrate your thesis.



 Variations on One Long Scenari o: Your introductory ¶ will be followed

by a long (perhaps even multi-paragraph) scenario that illustrates a crucial

issue in friendship. Following that, each body ¶ will begin with a topic

sentence that makes a point about the issue, and use at least three details

or variations from the scenario to illustrate your thesis.



Thesis

The main idea of your essay will be that if a person wants to understand

friendship they must consider the issue you are examining.

Examples:

 Although everyone thinks of trust, honesty, and respect when they think of

friendship, the most significant issue in a friendship is mutual benefit.

 The essential difference between friendship and other close personal

relationships is freedom.

 The most honest kinds of friendship are among twelve-year-old boys. Anyone

who seriously wants to understand friendship should spend some time with

boys.

 Looking at the possibility of friendships between people of different age

groups illustrates the most significant issues of friendship.

Process:

1. Considering all the issues, opinions, and scenarios we have discussed, select

a topic that you think is fresh, rich, and deep. Make sure you think you can

create scenarios and variations around it.

ex. Friends back each other up.



2. Make a broad generalization about it.

ex. In times of conflict true friends will back each other up no matter what.



3. Plan three scenarios that challenge this generalization. Either create one

basic situation with three significant variations or create three separate

scenarios that relate to the same topic. Make sure each scenario has these

elements:

 A crisis that requires change

 Two reasonable but conflicting sides

 A point of decision

ex.

1. Doug and Don go to 2. Shelly gets caught 3. Phil wants to play his banjo

parties and get in fights. cheating and uses Betty as in the talent show asks Kathy

Doug is tired of it. He says an alibi. Betty wasn’t to sing with him. She thinks

anyway. Does Doug stand she back Shelly’s story even Phil to show the school what

trouble?

the long term consequences and the best interest of the friend before backing them up in a

stupid decision.
