Instructions 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.
