Marissa wrote an essay about the harmful effect that litter on the beach can have for sea life. In her conclusion, she introduce
d the story of a sea turtle who got a plastic bag tangled around his head and used this example as a supporting detail for her thesis. How might she handle this story differently? She should write the story into the thesis statement of her essay. She should tell the story in a body paragraph and not the conclusion. She should provide more details about this sea turtle in her conclusion. She should not include stories about sea turtles in an essay about litter.
