Guidelines: Like all literary analysis essays, your paper should be persuasive and should follow standard essay format: Introduction, Body, Conclusion. Your essay must be organized point-by-point; this is not a book report. You should begin your essay with a creative lead-in of at least three sentences. You should end your essay in a thoughtful and reflective way, not just by restating your thesis. (However, it is not necessary for your lead-in and lead-out to "match.") Your thesis statement comes after the lead-in andmust include the title and author of the book in addition to a persuasive statement about the novel.

You should write an organizational statement and corresponding topic sentences. However, including the organizational statement in your final draft is optional. Your tone throughout the essay should be professional, formal, and appropriate. At the same time, you should try to develop a unique voice in your writing-your own sense of style-by focusing on your use of vocabulary, description, imagery, and literary and stylistic device. Most importantly, don't be boring. Long summaries are always boring, so avoid those, but support your interesting ideas with many specific details from the novel.
