Expository+Paragraph+Practice

Create an expository paragraph on __//**each**//__ one of these mock thesis statements:

1. //In his short story "Flight," John Steinbeck uses the color black to foreshadow the death of Pepe.//

-So, hint: what are you going to look for? I would go through the beginning part of the story and pay attention to ANYTHING that deals with the color black, especially if Pepe is in that scene.

2. //Through the death of Ted Lavender, Lt. Jimmy Cross finds the strength to move from the familiarity of a boy in love to the unfamiliarity of a man with duties.//

3. //The oppressiveness of marriage is a theme that is explored through the character of Louise Mallard in Kate Chopin's short story, "The Story of an Hour."//
