Give a brief summary of the story/plot: highlighting the beginning, middle and end. Then argue what you think was the most interesting/compelling/thought-provoking part of the book and WHY? Use lots of evidence from the novel to support your opinion. DON’T FORGET to CITE! (Cite direct quotes, paraphrases, and summaries!) In the conclusion, you can also use “personal” evidence (examples from your life, from people you’ve met; information from classes you’ve taken, from studies you’ve read etc.) to reflect on your argument, and why you found that part to be the most interesting.
“Quality not Quantity”—though you will inevitably also need some “quantity” to answer all parts. About 500 – 750 words (about three pages double-spaced). Fourth page for Works Cited.
Works Cited
You only need the book (print or e-book, depends on what you are using)
Outside sources are fine, but not required.
