Example: The theme of Pandoras Box is hope outlasts all evil. This is
made evident when Epimetheus asks Pandora if she thinks hope will live.
According to the text, Pandora replies, I am sure it will. Somehow I
know that it will outlive War and Sickness and all the other evils (479).
E-Explain
This is where you explain how your quote proves your answer. You are
essentially tying things together. This has to be at least two sentences.
Example: The theme of Pandoras Box is hope outlasts all evil. This is
made evident when Epimetheus asks Pandora if she thinks hope will live.
According to the text, Pandora replies, I am sure it will. Somehow I
know that it will outlive War and Sickness and all the other evils (479).
This quote shows that even after all the different evils are released from
the box, Pandora believes that hope will be able to overcome all. The
text describes her as being no longer downhearted after hope is
released into the world, furthering the point that hope is a force to be
reckoned with against evil.
