Impact on Your Life

Everyone has, at some time in the past, read a book, listened to a song, or seen a movie, a play, or a television show that has had a meaningful impact on his or her life. Some have read a novel or poem that affected the way they see themselves, their family, or their friends. Others have watched a movie, Broadway show, or television series or heard a particular song that alters their view of life's milestones and how to approach them.

In a well­ organized essay, describe such a book, song, movie, play, or TV show. Then explain the impact it had on your life (great or small) at the time you read or saw it, and explain whether it continues to affect you in some way today; if so, explain how; if not, explain why not.

• Provides a thesis that responds to all or most of the topic at least implicitly;

• Is organized in a sequential (if not always logical) manner that is consistent with paragraph conventions;

• Offers some supporting evidence/reasons and attempts to elaborate with some details;

• Is written in correct sentences, and word choices are correct, although possibly vague and/or repetitious at times;

• Demonstrates basic control of grammar, punctuation and mechanics so that sentence level errors, if present, do not confuse the reader.
