4. Paper 4 Assignment:
Write in class on Wednesday
 Extend your insights to
contemporary society. How does
this character’s marginalization
compare to others you see who are
also marginalized?
 REQUIRED:

1 quote from another source
(could be a dictionary definition)
 Bring your outline.
 Don’t forget to bring a
Blue Book!
 Choose a character from Chamber
of Secrets who has been
marginalized in some way.
 Explain how the character is
marginalized and provide examples
of the marginalization using quotes
from the book (and maybe even
examples from the first movie).
 Analyze 1) how the character
might be different if he or she
hadn’t suffered from being
marginalized; 2) ways in which the
character responds to the
marginalization that you see as
productive or unproductive and
why.

Body Paragraphs
Body paragraph 1: Use, cite, and discuss quotes to support your identification of the
character’s marginalization, the outcomes/results of marginalization, and ways in which the
character responds to the marginalization.
Body paragraph 2: Analyze 1) how the character might be different if he or she hadn’t
suffered from being marginalized; AND/OR 2) ways in which the character responds to the
marginalization that you see as productive or unproductive and why.
Body paragraph 3: Extend your insights to contemporary society; how does this character’s
marginalization compare to others you see who are also marginalized?
Conclusion: Re-emphasize your thesis. Answer the “so what?” question and/or make a call
to action.
