The poem "We Wear the Mask" written by American Author Paul Laurence Dunbar tells the story of why so many times the black men chooses to wear the "happy mask" when living without freedom. When Dunbar writes " We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise" he is making a reference to how despite smiling gracefully, the African Americans pray every night for an end to all of their struggles. The speaker can only confide his secrets to Christ, because to the rest of the world he shows the fake mask of happiness, while his soul is in pain.

Whats a good introduction and thesis statement for a drugs essay?
AysviL [449]

one way to start off an essay correctly is to state what the problems are about the topic.

the work you way to the positive affects of the drugs.


a second way is to start with a reason as to why you are writing an essay, ((this is correct, but teachers hate it this way))


last is to ask the question back to yourself. "why are drugs good/bad" ---> "drugs are good because they affect the host and enable new possibilities, but drugs are bad because they damage the body and cause sever and possibly fatal problems."
