Mark the attached reading (the essay is also available in The Norton Guide on pages 633-639)—an essay by The Joy Luck Clubnovelist Amy Tan—in the following ways (either on a hard copy or left as a pdf):

1) highlight what you see as the most important/most effective sentence in each paragraph
2) circle any words of which you do NOT have a strong sense of their meaning or usage (words that you would probably have to look up in a dictionary)
3) draw an asterisk (*) next to what you consider to be the thesis, and a double asterisk (**) next to what you see as the possible restatement of the thesis in the essay’s conclusion (if you think there is a thesis restatement)
4) list what you think are the essay’s 10 most descriptive words (adjectives, adverbs)
5) list what you think are the essay’s 10 strongest verbs

Once you have successfully marked the essay, write a paragraph (something like 5-7 well developed sentences) that answers the following prompt:

If you think that Tan’s essay is an example of “good” writing, then what is the single most important reason why you think it is “good.” If you think it is an example of “bad” writing, however, then what is the single most important reason why you think it is “bad?”
