Prometheus Thesis Statement

Decent Essays
Hello Gerasimos, when I first read your topic, I had so many suggestions for you but then I realized that you pretty much covered everything and more in your outline. I like how detailed your outline is. You have a clear sense of what message or argument you plan to convey through your essay. I was able to understand where you are heading to with your main ideas and thesis statement. Though, I have few suggestions that might be accurate and work well for you.
• You may want to work on your introduction. Currently, it is sufficient and informative but lacks that “hook” element. If I were you, I’d probably go borderline praiseful and describe Prometheus as an impressive character, without citing anyone. I remember reading about how interesting

I feel like how these two figures were so important should be the first paragraph and later paragraph(s) should focus more on the question “why”. This is pretty much what you did but since you did not give any examples about what real humans could do to get Prometheus’ or Jesus’ approval and love, it feels like it is lacking enough details. Maybe you can pull one of your sub points from the main idea 2 (for example, they were both people that others idolized after their sacrifice) and add it to the first paragraph about how these two figures were so important. We all know what people can do for Jesus’s approval but what did people do for Prometheus’ approval back in ancient days?
• I am also afraid that some parts of your essay may end up being repetitive.
• This comment could be wrong but I have one little suggestion with your works cited. Instead of using UPPERCASE for the names, you can capitalize each name. For example, instead of CROSBY, MICHAEL H., Crosby, Michael H. is I believe more appropriate. Though, I might be wrong.
It was really helpful for me to review your outline because going through each question Prof. Nayak provided made me realize that my outline is pretty much on the wrong track. I hope my comments were relevant and helpful. I wish you great luck with your

    On “Hercules Delivering Prometheus” and its Frame Constraints Many artworks are confined to a frame that limits the viewers’ eye or allows for their interpretation beyond its boundaries. The audience is either forced to analyze the present material or search outside for another meaning. Lespingola’s “Hercules Delivering Prometheus” embodies an abundance of intensity and dynamism that threatens to overcome its constraints, and envelops the viewer in its power. Hence, the bronze statue breaks its figurative frame.…

    Donald, Excellent topic! I felt this sentence was so powerful: “We are in the [throes] of an opioid epidemic[,] and yet we have no qualms pumping children full of stimulants on a daily basis.” I agree completely with that assertion. I think your tentative thesis was well thought out. I did notice an unfinished sentence at the end though… “The APA and AMA should come to a decision on this matter and not make drugs the.”…

    Before beginning this course, I knew that I lacked confidence within my writing. People say that you are your own worst critique, and I fully agree with that statement. My writing was not terrible in some aspects, but I knew that it needed to be improved upon. I lacked the experience needed because writing was not something that I did on a daily basis. When I first started English 1302, the little confidence that I had significantly plummeted since my writing seemed childish compared to other students.…

The purpose of your proposal is slightly different from the purpose of your first draft.

" You also wanted to “show how music has been used as a form of language in worship, was, education medical etc.”…

    Byron presents Prometheus as a immortal half God half Human, for stealing the fire, Zeus damned Prometheus to a life of pain. The fire represents the overthrow of the Gods and Prometheus’ challenging Zeus represents a challenge to the highest authority. The fact that what Prometheus did was successful gives evidence for a changing universe and a redistribution of power from the Gods to mankind. Men didn’t need Zeus control Prometheus endowed power from the Gods that truly scorn humankind. Lord Byron uses Prometheus as a symbol to fight for human liberty from the Gods control.…
