Writing Prompt 1

Directions:

Create a prewriting worksheet that seeks to brainstorm as many ideas about the following prompt. Then draft an essay that addresses each of the ideas. Be careful that you create an introduction that is a result of the body paragraphs you've written. If you're brave, write a conclusion that is an extension of what you've established.

1980. A recurring theme in literature is the classic war between a passion and responsibility. For instance, a personal cause, a love, a desire for revenge, a determination to redress a wrong, or some other emotion or drive may conflict with moral duty. Choose a literary work in which a character confronts the demands of a private passion that conflicts with his or her responsibilities. In a well-written essay show clearly the nature of the conflict, its effects upon the character, and its significance to the work.
