In his novel, The Great SantiniPat Conroy spilled all the beans that a good son is never supposed to spill: He wrote about his brutal father, his cowed mother, his frightened and abused siblings, and his own defiant and terrorized young self, all thinly disguised, of course, as fiction. Like Bull Meecham in the novel, Donald Conroy really was a Marine fighter The Great Santini, really did beat and terrorize his wife and kids, really did drink to excess, really did swagger around and call himself the Great Santini. The book was a best-seller, and it was later made into a blockbuster movie starring Robert Duvall. His grandparents, aunts and uncles were horrified at the airing of family secrets, and they picketed his book events, urging people to stay away. And what of his father? What was the reaction of the brutal and sneering The Great Santini Santini? Pat Conroy, 68, lives in Beaufort, S. He's the author of 11 books — novels, memoirs and a cookbook — most of which are about that brutal upbringing. He started dropping by Conroy's apartment every morning to read the newspaper and chat. He turned into the world's most attentive grandfather. The metamorphosis didn't happen immediately, of course, nor did Donald Conroy love The Great The Great Santini right off the bat. When he first read it, he was furious. Then he wept.

    Developing Your Thesis 1. Your First Task in Writing an Essay of Opinion Is

    Developing your thesis 1. Your first task in writing an essay of opinion is to raise a question that is open to debate and significant enough for your reader to want to know your answer. 2. Think hard and carefully about the novels you have read to find an idea they have in common and then formulate an opinion on that idea which you can develop into a research paper. 3. Choose an issue that can be argued by way of examples from the novels you have read. 4. Even after you have selected your thesis, let your opinion continue to take shape in the process of gathering and organizing your material. Ideally, an opinion is the result of the process of investigation. Rather than find facts to fit a preconceived opinion, develop an opinion to fit the facts you have found. 5. Be prepared to change your mind in the light of new evidence. The following are introductory paragraphs written by Great Valley students who have written successful research papers in the past. Read each paragraph and underline what you think is the thesis statement. 1. Willa Cather is an author who demonstrates an appreciation for an individual’s ability to withstand difficult circumstances and depicts these characters in her books as heroes. Characters such as the immigrant Alexandra in O Pioneers! And Antonia in My Antonia face many challenges: the death of family members, taming the wild land, and facing a new and unknown world. These characters endure these hardships due to an inner strength that emerges from their relationship with the land.

  • Pat Conroy, from My Losing Season

    Pat Conroy, from My Losing Season

    Pat Conroy, from My Losing Season Pat Conroy was the eldest of seven children in a military family and the victim of his father’s violence and abuse from a young age. He used his experiences as a young man growing up, moving constantly and navigating the rigid rules of the military as well as the segregated South under Jim Crow in such novels as The Water is Wide, The Great Santini, and The Lords of Discipline, a fictional account of his years at The Citadel Military College in South Carolina. The Prince of Tides remains Conroy’s most celebrated work, and each of these novels has been made into a successful motion picture. In his 2002 memoir My Losing Season, Conroy recounts his experiences as a student and a basketball player on a mediocre college team during the turbulent 1960s. In this passage, Conroy describes his August 1963 journey from Omaha, Nebraska, where his father had just been transferred, back to South Carolina where he had graduated high school in June and where he would begin his “plebe”—or freshman—year at The Citadel. CHAPTER 7: PLEBE YEAR I entered The Citadel as a walk-on, a player who makes the team without the benefit of scholarship. My first year, Mel [Thompson, coach of The Citadel] hadn't offered me a scholarship because, as he told my father, “I signed two guards a lot better than Pat,” and he was telling the truth. “Walk-on”— this still remains the proudest word I can apply to myself. Walk-on— there are resolve and backbone in that noun.
