Well, let me ask you this: can you think of an example of loss leading to awareness from the story? Write a sentence about it. follow that up with a sentence of elaboration/explanation. Next comes a sentence with an example or quote. Finish the paragraph with a conclusion sentence that reflects on the implications of what you just said or transitions into the next paragraph.
Do this for 3 different examples of loss leading to awareness, and you have your body paragraphs. Each begins with a
topic sentence.
You must use 9-12 quotations, with a minimum of 3 per body paragraph
This seems like a bad idea. Who wants to read a paragraph that is so long? Who wants to read a 5 paragraph essay that spans 5-6 pages? This seems like a strange assignment, and there are too many rules.
Anyway, your argument is going to come from the 3 points you make (one point per topic sentence). Form an argument based on examples from the story. The argument you make will tell something about the mechanisms that are at work as loss leads to awareness.
Think about this:
If loss leads to awareness, does that mean gain leads to lack-of-awareness?
