Part 3 – Argument and Application
Develop a position agreeing or disagreeing with Emerson’s claim “To be great is to be misunderstood.” State your position (thesis) and the evidence to support your position. Your evidence can come from your reading, your relevant personal experiences, and your observations.
Channel your inner Emerson and employ your own figurative language to make your argument more effective. Use at least two instances of figurative language (simile, metaphor, allusion, personification, hyperbole, etc.) in your evidence or explanations. Underline your figurative language.
