at least 3 paragraph please


As individuals and as a society, what we say—or fail to say—can have far-reaching effects. A kind word can make someone’s day; an encouraging word can provide inspiration; a cruel word can cause pain, and; a word that is withheld can cause damage.
Think carefully about the power that words can have, and how that concept is supported by the reading passages in this unit assessment.

Write a literary analysis about the power of words. Begin with a claim about the power of words. Then, support your claim with examples from at least two of the reading passages.

Be sure to —

clearly state your central idea
organize and develop your ideas effectively
choose your words carefully
edit your writing for grammar, mechanics, and spelling
