you MUST use SPECIFIC EXAMPLES from the reading materials to support your statements. You are required to use a story from the choices for each period–I chose An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge for one period, and you get to choose a story listed for the other two periods to work with (obviously, you will have worked with 3 stories–one for each period, by the time you are finished). You will also want to apply as many of the period CHARACTERISTICS to the story, you choose to work with for each period.
If you will follow the guide below it will help you to develop your paragraphs/essay fully.
