I have to write about being a "father," and I need help to write two development paragraphs.fact

When you say "development" paragraphs I assume you mean
the same thing as "body" paragraphs.


I'm going to encourage
you to do some brainstorming before you do
anything.


Answer the following questions to get you started
- make lists if you have to:


  1. What does being a
    father mean to you?  Are you a father?  Do you have a father?  Write about either.  (It
    would obviously be easier if you are a father - you could simply
    write from experience.  If you are not, write about your own father or a father-figure
    in your life.)

  2. What does a father have/do that a mother
    doesn't?

  3. What are a father's responsibilities and
    why?

Hopefully these questions will spark a
long list of ideas about "being a father."


Once you've
brainstormed TONS of ideas, organize them into two or three categories.  These will
become your development paragraphs.  I'm not sure what your professor is asking for as
"proof" but it seems that this is a personal experience or observation type essay.  I
encourage you to avoid writing in hypothetical ideas - but instead to try to tell real
life stories - yours or others.


Good
luck.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
