Subtopics into Topic Sentence: logic in crafting

What are some of the subtopics in which there are morality conflicts?

• Hunger (which we discussed last week) and its impact
• ...

P: Use one of the following verbs to write a topic sentence about "hunger and its impact" as it relates to your larger thesis statement for Essay 1:

• teaches
• illustrates
• demonstrates
• signifies
• distinguishes
• implies
• attributes
• suppresses
• reveals
• symbolizes
• challenges
• accentuates

Other things to consider:

• Try to be precise with your subject--don't just think you have to use use "Beah" or "Beah's morality"-- effective writing strategies are not that simplified. There are other options (infinite) that are specific and precise--you just have to think of them and use them! So try on a few varieties of phrases that relate to the prompt. 

• In the object of your sentence, try to think about and allude to ideas you see inherent in the specific examples that you will use to support this statement. In other words, look at the topic sentence as a foreshadowing of your supporting reasons and examples.

• A clear, specific idea is not going to support itself, so be okay with that. Your topic sentence will NEED you to support it with at least one or two sentences that give reason to your point.
