Answer 1

uhh man, i am a writer, its defently gonna to have some part in my career(but i cant spell for ****(good thing we have editors for that))

but these i have the most trouble on

Open up in one paragraph what the essay is going to be about.But dont say: this paper will be about neglect and if jannette was neglected

that is always bad

In my opinion i would start it off

Many people think that janette the main character of the glass castle was neglected as a child, but do people rly no what neglect means. During this we will figure out the true deffenition of neglect and then we will figure out if she was neglected as a child or not.

Next paragraph write about the deffention

next 1 reason he was neglected(write it in detail and explain how this effected her)

same as above, u can do one more if u please but not nessecary

Close the paper up, remind the readers what u just wrote about, in a sense rewrite what just happened in a very very shot summery

write something like

So, we figured out the true deffention of neglect and then we noticed that (reason one of neglect) and then reason 2 of neglect and any more u added. Always and i mean always end the paper with a question. the teachers will usally go crazy. Say something like

Do you think if janette was not neglected as a child she would have turned out differently/or helped someone, see i dont no the story so i am not that much of a help

but i hope i helped, spilled my coffee typing this

email me if u did a good job with ur paper

Answer 2

I haven't read the book but this is a good format for writing an essay to answer a question on a text.

Introduction

In the introduction you tell the reader what you are going to talk about in your essay.

Example: In this essay I am going to define neglect. I am also going to answer the question of whether Janette was neglected as a child. Specifically I am going to say how she was neglected. Once I have outlined how she was neglected I will then write about whether her parents neglected their children on purpose. Lastly I am going to talk about why Janette and her siblings were treated the way they were.

Body

You have a paragraph for each point which you bought up in your introduction.

So with the introduction I gave as an example you would have five paragraphs.

Conclusion

In the conclusion you basically repeat the introduction but answer the questions asked.

Example: In this essay I have defined neglect as the failure to provide adequate care to a child or children in your care. Janette specifically was neglected by her parents not giving her enough food to survive. In my opinion the parents did not neglect their children on purpose. Also in my opinion Janette and her siblings were treated in this way because of a lack of parental knowledge and also a lack of resources.

Keep in mind for my conclusion example that I have not read the book, it's just an example of how to set out a conclsion.

There is a study guide for this book which has a quotes section in it.
