you will need an introduction, which identifies

you will need an introduction, which identifies the author and title of the story and sets up your thesis. In your thesis you will make an assertion about your subject. You will then support that thesis through a series of body paragraphs. Remember, each body paragraph should have a topic sentence, which introduces the paragraphs subject, followed by the presentation of a quote or quotes from the story, which support the topic, followed by analysis of the quote(s). You will also need a short concluding paragraph. You will need to title that essay. Your title can include the title of the story, but it cant be only the title of the story. Remember to use academic voice (first person plural (we) or third person (one), formal, authoritative) and to describe the action in your story in present tense. You will not use second person (you). Your quotations should be cited, as in models number 1 and 2 on page 123 in The Little Seagull Handbook. You will also present a work cited entry, similar to that in model number 19, on page 144, in Little Seagull. You will want to format your paper like the sample paper beginning on page 161, in Little Seagull. See the schedule of assignments or deadlines file for due dates.
