Essays / Question about if it is not recommended to argue an idea that isn't very dominant in a book. [3]
Hello. I joined since I'm in desperate need of advice.
I am doing a comparative essay on two novels.
Firstly, I'd actually quickly like to ask if this is an acceptable thesis (not final yet) - Internal pursuits and external concerns can cause moral conflict. It should be arguable, right? And most of all, is this a very lame idea? Could it be improved in any manner?
Secondly, 'isn't very dominant' is probably an understatement. The idea I'm arguing (of which 600 words will need to be written on it), is only present in the very first chapter of the book.
I'll probably struggle to write it a lot (I will have to exaggerate my analysis), but I'm wondering if I should change it? Will I get in trouble if the idea is not prominent - will the teacher mark me down?
The teacher most likely will not have read any of the books we are doing. But still, there are a lot of other students in my grade doing this book and so she might be inclined to check the book out or get confused over what I've written.
I really want to hold onto this idea if I can, because I don't really have any other options and I'm out of time... This idea also works well for my other book. - but perhaps it really will impact the quality of my essay if I'm stretching only about 15 pages or so over 600 words. Maybe I'll have to find a way to change my thesis slightly?
Thank you very much!
