Check out the notes and writing assignment below and prepare a composition that reflects your impression of the CI and the likely conflict that will follow.
Novel
Study: Paragraph 2
Every
story worthy of that name has a conflict, and conflict is the direct outgrowth
of a causative
incident (CI). From the story that you are reading, identify the CI and
write about how that CI came about and what likely conflict it will encourage.
Writing
the paragraph: unity and coherence:
A
paragraph is unified when it
stays on topic.
A
paragraph is coherent when
the point made is clearly made.
To
achieve unity and coherence write a paragraph that outlines the CA and
indicates what likely conflict will transpire.
The
criteria for this paragraph:
- Maintaining
unity
- Achieving
coherence
- writing
in active sentences
- using at least one correlative conjunction
To
add style to your writing play with your words. Add a hook that you return to
in the concluding sentence.

others you probably assume that people are all the same - and that only you are
different. Well, in that regard we are all the same - we each like to think
that we are the different one! In Sherman Alexie’s novel, Part Time Indian, the man character, Junior, likes to think that he
is unique. This wildly original thinking, though, is what leads to the
causative event in this book. Junior, a Okanagan native boy, leaves his rez school in central Washington Reardon Reardon
