Chapter 3 The Bean Trees writing assignment.doc.docx

 Write two paragraphs on why Mattie would make an excellent mentor for Taylor. As we are beginning to “weave” this year, I will not require chunk style paragraphs. Weaving means you can play around with the number and order of CDs and CMs. Your paragraphs must be a minimum of seven sentences. Each paragraph must include two concrete details. One of the two CD’s per paragraph may be a paraphrase, the other must be a direct quote or embedded quote. Before you turn this in someone else will highlight the CDs and CMs to verify you have enough. Don’t schlock it out for times sake. I will accept late work. DO IT RIGHT!Document your quotes in MLA fashion—page number in parenthesis at the end of the sentence followed by a period; see example below. Commentary must be third person (no I or you). Grammar, spelling, and punctuation count.Example of a CD-CM-CM using a direct quote“Mattie listened in an interested way… She didn’t even give him any lip” (44). Taylor could learn how to curb her smart mouth with people from Mattie. Although, it may be a defense mechanism, speaking to people this way makes her appear immature and snide.Example of a CD-CM-CM using an embedded quoteMattie is a strong woman with “this kind of know-how” that Taylor admires (43). She is a business owner who treats customers and passersby with kindness. Taylor would be wise to make friends and learn what she can from Mattie about being a capable, independent woman. ................
