Example of a very good answerThis essay is a ve ry good example
of how this question shou ld be answered. The answer showed
profundity ofthought and an in-depth knowledge of the text F
cesdIasjIoSerio. The essay was well structured. Theintroduction
outlined the candidates interpretation of how emotional turmoil was
demonstrated in thetext and then these points were further
developed in the body of the essay with appropriate quotationsand
tex tua l references. The conclusion re-stated the thesis statement
of the essay .Spec ific commentsIn the introduction, the candidate
made the scope of the essay very clear Tumultuous experiences
ofadolescents would be illustrated through the experiences of the
main character, Lidia: uneasiness andinsecurity with the changes of
puberty, disappointment at the cynicism of the world and
thedisillusionment with the childlike idolization of an adult she
respected.The first paragraph attempted to discuss the changes of
puberty and how these caused turmoil fo r theadolescent. This was a
mature and insightful point, albeit not we ll introduced by a
quotation and a weakexplanation: They were referring to puberty in
this statement. However, an excellent use ofquotations followed as
the candidate explained the gradual self loathing of Lidia as her
body changed untilshe could no longer look at herself in the mirror
. This was an excellent example of the emotional tu rmoil
ofadolescence and it was well expressed.This candidate once more
demonstrated great familiarity with the tex t in the second
paragraph inwhich was discussed the vulnerability of the adolescent
coming into his own and having to facethe indifference of the
world. The candidate further developed th is point by explaining no
t only theexperience of Lidia bu t also her reaction of withdrawal.
The candidate used appropriate quotations to provethis point.The
third paragraph discussed the third st rong point of the candidate.
that is. the fact that disappointment withan adult revered as a ch
ild led to emotional turmoi l in the adolescent. The use of
quotations once more wasnoteworthy. These were cleverly interwoven
with the candidates words and not merelyillustrations or
repetitions of points. Ins tead, they helped the flow of the
paragraph.The candidate re-stated the thesis in the conclusion in a
convincing manner. This essay wa s strong and wellthought ou t. The
candidate discussed three very strong points and demonstrated an
admirable familiarity withthe text. Quotations were aptly chosen .
At times. more carefu l attention needed to be paid to spelling in
theintroduction and the structurinu of the essay in the first
paragraph.
