REBELLION/CONFORMITY PROCESS SYNTHESIS ESSAY
Prompt:
Drawing from Fahrenheit 451 and at least two other selected texts from our inquiry unit–“On Trial,” “The Unknown Citizen,” “Pockets,” “Snowman,” “The Pedestrian,” Self Reliance, Civil Disobedience, My So-Called Life (“The Substitute” episode), Obedience (documentary film), and the Roxane Gay and Michelle Kwan essays in American Like Me–write a thoughtful, well-organized, and well-supported essay that answers the following question:
To what degree or under what circumstances should an individual rebel against, rather than conform to, society?
Your argument should be multi-paragraphed, focused upon a central claim statement, and organized further by sub-claims.
The claim and sub-claims should represent thoughtful insight into the topic and be supported by multiple references to Fahrenheit 451 and at least two other sources.
