--> Write a well-argued response to the following topic:
Using evidence from the text, identify the theme of Thomas Mann's "Disillusionment"
- theme, thesis statements, 4 quotations (introduced, integrated, cited, explained), transitions, conclusion.
Example theme and thesis: 
(indent) Reality often falls short of our expectations. In "Disillusionment", Mann expresses the general disappointment with life that mankind experiences.
Example transition:
In the story, the narrator listened to the disillusioned life story of a man who seemingly has no age. Over the course of this one-sided conversation, the man describes the disappointment one experiences from life.
Quotation Integration example:
To provide the narrator with context for his attitude, the man explains that his religious upbringing initiated his tendency to see the world in polarities of "good and evil" (738). The man's extremist attitude creates his disappointment as there are no neutral or average scenarios for him.
*Remember to analyze in present tense; change with square brackets if necessary*
Example:
For the man, "life consist[s] utterly" of words that stir the imagination and set one up for disappointment (738).
--> changed from "consisted"
*Analyze in present tense. *Double-Space* *Transitional sentences to introduce and summarize examples. *Transitional words/phrases when providing numerous examples (such as "Additionally," "Furthermore," "As Well,")
