The question above is intended to analyze your writing and reading skills. For this reason, it is not right for me to write an essay for you, but I will show you how to write it.
First, you should read "A Sound of Thunder" and "Nethergrave," understanding the two texts and deciding which one is best, in your opinion, and what reasons make you come to that opinion.
After this reading, you can write your essay as follows:
Introduction: Present the background information for the story you will present in the essay and then show your thesis statement. The thesis statement is your take on this story, where you will show that it is better than the other.
Body: Write two paragraphs. In these paragraphs, you will show the reasons that make you believe that the story you chose is better than the other story. You will have to show information from both texts to verify your arguments.
Conclusion: End the essay by showing your final thoughts about the story, summarize your arguments, and reinforce your thesis statement.
An example of this could be shown in an email to the city’s head of the local electric power plant to persuade them to place more streetlights on a specific side of town.
Some of the things include- High GPA (of course); taking honors classes; volunteer work/jobs; taking important extra curricular activities like Scholars Bowl, NHS, JROTC; and keeping a clean record and attendance
