I have to write an essay based on the quote "Everyone deserves a standing ovation because we all overcometh the world." Basicall
y, we have to either agree or disagree with the quote and write at least 500 words supporting our answer. What are some points I should list if I agree with the quote?
Ovation-by definition- is show of appreciation from an audience, for a person's accomplishments or flaw.
"Everyone deserves a standing ovation because we all overcometh the world."
A person's accomplishment could be how they made a positive change in this world, strong leadership- that makes them a effective leader or simply helping others. A person's flaw- mistakes in life, sin or even guilt should also be considered an appreciation- an ovation for representing mankind's flaw and that humanity makes mistakes, fulfilling at least one deadly sin such as greed, lust, selfishness etc.
Thus, regardless of a person's achievement or flaw- a person deserves an applause for, not the least, living in this society and this world that we are all living together and dying together.
That was just the introduction.. the best part is yet to come.. now it's your turn!!
Here are other pointers to talk about in your essay:
Shakespeare's famous line "All the World's a stage. That agrees with your line: "Everybody deserves a standing ovation..."
Shakespeare explains that men and women are like players: they live, and die, some being celebrated and some forever living in solitude till their death. Shakespeare states the world is a "stage" which symbolizes that mankind is in its peak. The world is changing everyday: little by little and humanity is falling behind. Due to our world turning into machinery: factories, an automotive future: where humans only job to live (entrance) and to die (exit) the famous humans remembered and the flawed not recalled.
This is according to Shakespeare's imagery.
I don't know what grade your in, but I think simplifying Shakespeare's word of mouth in your essay would be handy and useful as it has strong references of your quote, and agrees strongly in your essay.
