Writing an Analysis that Compares Two Genres — Unit test

Question 14 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

This is the thesis to an essay: “Both the short story ‘Flowers for Algernon’ and the essay ‘Fish Cheeks’ have the theme that it is normal to want to fit in with others.” Which quote from “Flowers for Algernon” would you choose to support this thesis?

Answer
A
“I told them becaus all my life I wantid to be smart and not dumb. But its very hard to be smart.”
B
“We had a lot of fun at the factory today. Joe Carp said hey look where Charlie had his operashun what did they do Charlie put some brains in.”
C
“Even a feeble-minded man wants to be like other men. A child may not know how to feed itself, or what to eat, yet it knows of hunger.”
D
“please tell Dr Nemur not to be such a grouch when pepul laff at him and he woud have more frends.”

Explanation

Choice C says, “Even a feeble-minded man wants to be like other men,” directly expressing the idea that people naturally want to fit in with others. The comparison to a child’s natural hunger reinforces that this desire is normal. The other quotes discuss wanting to be smart, being teased, or making friends, but they do not state the thesis as clearly.
