I need to do an essay that compares Yusef Komunyakaa and Sylvia Plath in regards to their writings using the Vietnam war and WWII. Can someone give me a hook to use for a thesis? Update: <span>I guess I wasn't as clear as I thought. What I am looking for is a suggestion from someone for what the thesis could be that discusses both their references to war</span>
Answer: The short story by Jerome K Jerome (of Three Men and a Boat fame) called The Dancing Partner, is about a group of young girls who are talking about the fact that none of them can seem to find tgood dancing partners. Overheard by one of the girls' fathers, the man determines that he can build the ideal dancing partner, one who won't complain and will not step on their feet. He creates a dancing partner named Lt. Fritz. But when he is built the girls aren't sure about dancing with him. Finally, one girl does dance with him and realizes that she is enjoying herself. The girl, seeking to dazzle the rest of the dancers, loosens the screw on the mechanical dancer, and he goes faster and faster. At some point it becomes evident that she's passed out. They looked for the maker of the robot, but couldn't find him. Finally, they do find him, but it is too late for the young woman. She is dead. From that day forward the mechanical inventor stuck to making smaller things.

Answer:
The author gives Rowling's example because JK Rowling's inspirational story illustrates the author's point that 'Goals Need Grit'
Explanation:
The author wanted to give an example of illustrating how grit, or persevering in the face of obstacles, will allow you to get past those obstacles. Harry Potter is one of the all-time best selling books that quite literally pushed JK Rowling to the pinnacle of fame of success. Her journey was not easy in the slightest. She lived a difficult life before achieving incredible success as highlighted by the author. Writing a top selling series is not easy and when she came up with an idea of writing a book, she spent years working on it only to be declined by the publishers who felt that her feminine name would hamper book sales. This is a point where most people would give up out of sheer frustration. However, Rowling moved passed this as well. Her pashion for her work, her determimation and her perseverance allowed her to come up with an interesting way to put her name on the book and get away with it. As we all know, this worked brilliantly.
Therefore this example, illustrating Rowling's grit, her pashion, and her fierce desire to push past obstacles, shows how you need grit to overcome problems and achieve your goals.
