PLEASE HELP OUT! ENGLISH AIN'T MY BEST SUBJECT!! Question 2: Next, choose one of the three diary entries that you’ve written and examine the entry for the elements of purpose and point of view. Make a list of these elements for your diary entry and then define each element and any unclear terms or phrases.

Question 3: Now you will use the diary entry that you’ve chosen and its elements that you’ve examined to develop either a one-page narrative or informative essay about the topic. An informative essay gives detailed information about a specific subject to readers. It begins with an introductory paragraph. The introduction should include a brief summary of the topic and background information. It also includes a clear thesis statement, which states the main idea of the essay. The introductory paragraph is followed by three body paragraphs. Each body paragraph includes a supporting detail and relevant evidence to reinforce the main idea of the essay. The essay ends with a concluding paragraph that restates the thesis statement and briefly summarizes the main points covered in the essay. An informative essay is always written in the third-person point of view. A narrative essay, on the other hand, tells a story. It includes all the elements of a story such as characters, setting, plot, and dialogue. It starts with an introduction with an interesting hook to get the readers’ attention. The introduction paragraph typically also introduces the characters and the setting of the story. It is followed by the body paragraphs that describe what happens to the characters in the story. The third (last) body paragraph includes the climax of the story, which is the turning point. The story ends with a conclusion that resolves the conflicts of the story. A narrative essay is written in first- or third-person point of view. Choose either a narrative essay or an informative essay to reexamine the topic of the diary entry that you’ve chosen. Then, write a one-page essay in the type that you’ve chosen. After you’ve completed your first draft, submit your essay for assessment.

Question 4: In this task, you will compare your essay to your original diary entry. In your comparison, focus on the areas you examined at the beginning of this task: point of view and purpose. Write a paragraph of 100-150 words comparing your diary entry and your essay.

These are my entry's on what the questions are asking about...

Entry 1.

Today was a really irking day for me as my best friend Camryn just scratched up my chalkboard. It really makes me feel irritated and really frustrating. Yet, she is my best friend so I couldn't say much about the feeling to her. Whenever someone scratches the chalkboard and particularly mine it makes me cringe a lot and I even cry out of irritation. That's my biggest pet peeve that I cringe for. I feel as if I am going to itch. When Camryn left, I kept myself calm for sometime but I couldn't stop myself from drawing random stuff on my board and getting annoyed. But when I thought of what I've done over and over again, I thought that there's nothing much to really cringe for and I thought I must change this habit. I kept scratching my board with my ruler, paper knife and other objects and after a couple of minutes, I felt fine and happy.

Entry 2-

Today my mom and I were in the McDonalds drive through when we pulled up to the window to pay and we were told “The person in front of you paid for your meal”. My mom thought that was sweet so she decided to pay it forward and pay for the people behind us. The situation made me think of what paying it forward really means. The true meaning of pay it forward is an expression for when the recipient of an act of kindness does something kind for someone else rather than simply accepting or repaying the original good deed. I feel that everyone should always do good deeds for others and when receiving a good deed they should pay the kindness forward, it would make our world a much kinder place.

Entry 3-

Yesterday I was playing in my senior homecoming basketball game when I took a wrong step and couldn't bear to walk anymore. The athletics team rushed out to me and I was carried off of the court. Eventually I was put in the ambulance and taken to our local hospital where I found out I had tore my ACL. I got to come home early this morning and I got the news that I wouldn't be able to play the rest of my senior year as an ACL injury will take at least 6 months to heal. I was very upset, my last year playing high school basketball had been cut short and this injury would affect my scholarship. I was currently facing adversity. To deal with this adversity I started surrounding myself with positive people, sitting outside and being in nature for fresh air, and I write a lot in my journal to get my thoughts out. All of this has made me feel much better.
