Hey guys
I have an essay i need to write next week, and my english teacher is
giving us 5 classes to do it in. Needs to be 900-1200 words, and we are
allowed to bring in a sheet with some points and ideas about the topic,
so we can expand on them in the essay. The prompt for the essay is "The
groups that we belong to shape our sense of identity"
What i wanted to ask was, could someone give me a few points/ideas i
could write down on my sheet, so i can expand on in the actual essay?
So far, really what i have is, whatever groups you hang around with,
you follow them and act like them (eg. if you hang out with jerks, you
will become a jerk), but i need some more, and some more elaborate ones
too.
I'll be very grateful.
Cheers, guys!

If it is a narrative compo style
i will suggest you write on a personal story of one person
a bad boy who turned good
then link up to your main theme
in that way , there is a sense of a "interaction "to the main theme
I tried teaching "interaction" to my kids ...haha
for example
John[not his real name] is a gangster who hang around in Macdonald at Far East Plaza ,this is the generation of steady growth in singapore ,and business activities hive up in Orchard Area...
Then how he get into fights and one fights he feel empty..
no mobile phone as that time dun have
...
does that helps you ?
