German A self-taught essay


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, first post here =D

 

Im beginning my IB2 year in about 3 weeks and have managed to procrastinate most of the assignments i was presented with in my German Self-taught class. I have a question about what is expected of me for the 1200-1500 word essay that i have to write for the course. Every guide i have stumbled across has only specified that it is a literary task and that i have to formulate an essay title based on my part 1 books ( The collector of treasures by Bessie Head, Master Harold and the boys by Athol Fugard ). 

So I decided to pick the short story (Heaven is not closed) from The collector of treasures and have formulated a rough essay title. I picked the prompt *What is the impact on the work of a major choice and/or decision made by characters?* And plan to address how the decision to marry an unbeliever in the traditional Setswana way and the excommunication from the church as a consequence of this changed the image from positive to negative in the sotry.

 

Now to the question. Ive got a frame for my essay but i have no idea what the hell im supposed to be writing in this essay... Do i just answer the prompt? Do i write a commentary? Has anybody else had to write this essay for Self - Taught and has some pointers, or even better an example?

 

Thank you =D
