Write an essay that you support with the use of examples. For this  example essay, we will use the story "Sonny's Blues" and analyze how  point-of-view contributes to the story's overall meaning. Come up with a  thesis statement, and back up your argument with specific observations  about the text. Use at least three examples from the story to illustrate your thesis.

 Be sure to write an attention-grabbing introduction with the thesis placed at the end of  it. Also, be sure to create a conclusion that extends your topic in  some way. See the essay writing document below for details.
