Example Essay on The Great Gatsby
To show you what he thinks a good take-home essay looks like, Mr. R wrote this essay in response to the 2016 Open Question Writing Prompt:
Many works of literature contain a character who deceives others. The character’s dishonesty may be intended either to help or to hurt. Such a character, for example, may choose to mislead others for personal safety, to spare someone’s feelings, or to carry out a crime. Choose a novel or play in which a character deceives others. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze the motives for that character’s deception and discuss how the deception contributes to the meaning of the work as a whole.
