Plan and outline your on-demand essay and print out resources you may want to use*. Before you start on your outline, please read the prompt and sample outline below carefully to prepare. Students who have an outline in class tomorrow will receive credit for their work. You should review your analytic paragraphs and the commentaries before class tomorrow, as they may inform your writing. However, your essay should go beyond the scope of the writing you've done in the unit so far.
On-Demand Instructions
Write an essay in which you discuss the functions of one of the characters from A Streetcar Named Desire. In your essay, you may want to focus on:
1.) The character's traits and behaviors (STEAL)
2.) How those behaviors and traits are punished, rewarded, or go unnoticed by the other characters in the play
3.) Williams use of the character to reflect and critique some aspect of society
