Reflective Essay Assignment

Complete all lessons prior to this assignment.

Frederic Henry’s perspective and attitude about war changes drastically in this story by Hemingway.  How and why does Henry’s change happen?  Write a reflective essay in which you explain Henry’s change in thinking about war and connect this to a personal experience where you underwent a significant change of perspective, how and why this change happened, and how this benefited your life.  The essay’s thesis statement and body contents should refer to A Farewell to Arms and clearly state the connection. The conclusion should refer back to A Farewell to Arms too.

Note: Henry’s change in perspective about war has nothing to do with Catherine or romance! 

Thesis statement:  Your introduction’s thesis statement must include story title and author (A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway), the controlling ideas of Henry’s change and your change, and why this is important.  Do not use announcements such as “In this essay…”.

The essay should be 1 typed page in length and include essay structure with an introduction, body and conclusion paragraphs. Proofread and edit carefully for correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
