what you’ve learned so far about how the young Tara Westover has been educated to think about herself and the world around her. What is she learning? How is she learning it?

1.
Begin with an introductory paragraph in which
you provide context for your readers by introducing the book and author (assume
no one else has read it) and providing a very brief overview of what you’ve
read so far. Create audience interest in
your essay by leading into the lesson you’ve selected.
2.
In the middle section of your essay, move slowly
through your analysis:
·
How young Tara Westover is learning this
particular lesson. Who is teaching her,
or what does she observe that teaches her?
How is the lesson taught? What examples from the book should you talk
about that show this? These points are essential in your essay.
·
Optional:
Are there any rewards when Tara demonstrates that she’s learning or has
learned the lesson? These might external (provided by someone else) or internal
(feelings that she has). What passage(s) in the book show this?
·
Optional:
Are there any negative consequences for Tara not learning or not
complying with the lesson? These, too,
might be external (experiences she has) or internal (feelings she has). What
passage(s) in the book show this?
3.
In your conclusion, discuss the lesson
thoughtfully and personally. For
example, you might talk about some of these questions:
·
Why is this lesson noteworthy? What about it strikes you as important and
why?
·
How do you react to the lesson and why?
·
How does it fit in with what you think of as
modern American life?
·
How do you think what she’s learning will affect
her as she moves forward in her life and why?
·
Is this a lesson you think is appropriate for
children to learn and why/why not?
