    1. If you’re in my Tues, Thursday class I would have gone over the prompts with you already. It’s a comparison and contrast essay. There’s three prompts, chose one. I will be available on Tuesday in class for more help.

    2. So, if for example, I chose the first prompt revolving around the 5 elements of fiction. Would the "three or more key points" be on the 5 elements or be on something else?
