Good thesis statements do not simply announce a topic; they say something about the topic, and it provides the framework for your paper. Never start a thesis with, “In this paper I will discuss…”A thesis statement makes a promise to the reader about the scope, purpose, and direction of the paper. It summarizes the conclusion that the writer has reached about the topic.

Be sure you have identified the author and title of the story and the character you will be analyzing. Some questions you could address in your introduction include:Why did you pick this character?What do you like and/or dislike about this character?Do you identify with this character on any level?Do you know someone similar to them? ExplainBody Paragraphs: The topic sentence for each body paragraph includes one character trait you chose to describe your character. For example, “Armitage is an artificially constructed personality.” Follow the topic sentence with evidence from the novel: examples from the story that support your topic sentence, and at least one direct quotation from the novel in each body paragraph. Next, explain how your examples support your topic sentence, and conclude each body paragraph with a summarizing “clincher” sentence to wrap-up your ideas.Conclusion: The conclusion restates your thesis statement and adds some final thoughts about your character and the novel that are unique and a true statement of your own feelings and thoughts. Give your reader food for thought. Motivate your reader to explore this character.Peer ReviewMonday, 25, 2019Formal Assignment #1, Draft #2 (if needed) DueGrading:90-100 pointsNo need to revise unless you want to80-89 pointsRevise if you have time and can fit it into your schedule.70-79 pointsRevise if you want to pass the course with a B or better.60-69 pointsRevise if you want to pass the course with a C or better.59 points or lessYou must revise if you wish to pass the course.Character Analysis Prewriting ExerciseTo help get you started, consider filling out this outline for yourself.
