How do ideas influence individuals or events in the text? Choose one important idea or individual, such as Chang-bo, in Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea, and demonstrate how an idea influenced him, which set off a chain reaction of events. Introduce your idea with clear and precise language, and with vocabulary or idioms from the selection. Use your understanding of informational text elements to determine how ideas, individuals, and events interact in the text. Provide transitions to clarify connections in your information. Use a formal style and cite specific textual evidence to support your response. Complete your writing with an effective conclusion that leaves your audience with an understanding of your topic and with an idea, fact, or question to think about.
