History Paper I am going to be a junior in high school & I am going to be taking an AP U.S. History course. For the summer we had to read a book (I read Nickel & Dimed) and then write an essay. The assignment is:
Based on your understanding and knowledge of the opputunities offered by the United States before 1850, what does the book that was read indicate about the "American Dream"?
I know that the book I read is indicating that the American Dream is not as promising as it was before the 1850s, because back then immigrants came here & were able to start a better life, but now people are trying to work low wage jobs that do not support them or do not generally lead to an improved life. However, I do not know how to set up my essay. I know I need a hypothesis in the introduction paragraph & a conclusion paragraph. But I do not know how to organize the body paragraphs, how to split them up, and what to talk about in each one. (I am thinking a 5 paragraph essay with 3 body paragraphs). If you have any ideas I would be grateful for them! Thank you!
