You will then write a thesis-centered essay of at least 500 words in response to this one question using excerpts from The Omnivore’s Dilemma and “Consider the Lobster” to support your writing.

Remember to:

Develop a thesis that takes a clear stance or position.
Organize your thoughts–an outline can help do this.
Use MLA in-text citation to support your claim with quotes or paraphrases from BOTH the Michael Pollan and the David Foster Wallace readings. (You must use at least one cited idea from each reading).
Also use your own observations, experiences, or other sources to develop your claims. Discuss how your citations and ideas are relevant to your thesis.
