This is the final assignment for our English class. I have always been interested in the shaping of character in each novel and the connection between them, so I chose this topic

【Self-reflection】

【explain what you have learned while making this assignment/project】

First of all, I have a deeper understanding of the three novels– The Good Earth, Things Fall Apart, Of Mice and Men, as well as the author’s description of the protagonist and his own understanding. Because in the process of writing, it is necessary to constantly review the original text to see the author’s description and interpretation of this relationship.
Second, I have more experience in writing. By comparing a consistent element in the three novels, I have learned how to express more logically, and how to choose evidence and description better

【competencies and skills】

Writing Communication

Skill 1– Argument A （What is the evidence that the student can develop an argument or thesis and draw meaningful connections and conclusions?）

My thesis for the paper：

All the following descriptions of relationships start from this thesis.

Ending

The content of the full text is closely related to the main idea, and the evidence used can support my argument.

Skill C– Evidence A (What is the evidence that the student can support the argument or thesis?)

To prove my point, I used extracts from the original text in each of the novel’s dispositions

Of Mice and Men

There is a memorable part of the novel that describes their relationship, speak by George and Lennie themselves.👇

Having a little farm of their own, it is the biggest and only dream that been share between Lennie and George throughout the novel. They share this dream for a long long time and Lennie keep asking George to repeat it again and again. 

The Good Earth

Ching and Wang Lung met long before Wang Lung became rich. Ching is more timid than Wang Lung, he is also very quiet and silent. 

Things Fall Apart

【improve】

I can have more short quotations to be incorporated into articles to support my thesis, and each novel has an quotations that allows for more consistent words.

My evidence from TFA and TGH is too little so it may not be able to support my thesis. I should add more to it.
