Expository Essay Disaster

Today, we ran through the expository essay question and how to go about doing it. I have a really bad feeling about my expository essay. Mrs Seah said lots of people were jogging in circles, which is kind of what I felt I was doing... So, this is the question:

"This is home truly". In this day and age, home should not be defined by one's nationality.
:
We examined Maslow's Hierarchy, which Mrs Seah said was most appropriate to use for this essay's question:

MASLOW'S HIERARCHY
- self-actualization
- self-esteem
- love and belonging
- safety ans security
- food/water/basic needs

We also talked about how we absolutely must include evidence to substantiate our points.

Reasons for Oslo Killing
- the killer is an extreme white right-wing who is anti-Muslim and believes that the nation should only belong to the Aryans

New Words:
Cut-and-thrust - (in this context) sharpening each other's point to ensure accuracy of the point
Nebulous - lacking definition or definite content
Masonry - the craft of a mason (a craftsman who works with stone or brick)
Incumbent - currently holding an office
Multi-culturalism - the doctrine that several different cultures can coexist peacefully and equitably in the same country
Siege mentality - isolating
