The Character Analysis Essay
The Introduction ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Go
The Hook ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A B C
Sentence C ,[object Object],[object Object],Next
2) Mention two to three Statements about the Character. ,[object Object],[object Object],A B
Option A ,[object Object],This sentence is too informal for formal essay writing. It commits a  comma splice  and uses  contractions.  The first sentence is too vague to be specific to Okonkwo (it could be a statement about anyone) and the second sentence also does not help the reader understand more about Okonkwo’s personality. Back
Option B ,[object Object],These sentences show a good understanding of Okonkwo in general. They offer general motivation for his actions ( his father’s failure) and hints at his positive qualities . The second sentence does a good job of  hinting at his weaknesses, and thus preparing the reader for the thesis statement. Next
3) Thesis statement ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A B C
Thesis A ,[object Object],[object Object],Next
The First Body Paragraph : Strengths ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Go
Topic  Sentence ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A B C
Topic Sentence A ,[object Object],[object Object],Back
Topic Sentence B ,[object Object],[object Object],Back
Topic Sentence C ,[object Object],[object Object],Next
2) Introduce quotation and then insert quotation ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A B C
Intro quotation #1 ,[object Object],[object Object],Back
Intro quotation #2 ,[object Object],[object Object],Back
Intro quotation #3 ,[object Object],[object Object],Next
3) Explanation ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A B C
Thesis B ,[object Object],[object Object],Back
Explanation A ,[object Object],[object Object],Back
Explanation B ,[object Object],[object Object],Back
Explanation C ,[object Object],[object Object],Next
Last,  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Next
Thesis C ,[object Object],[object Object],Back
Sentence B ,[object Object],Like Sentence A, this sentence lacks creativity and imagination. The purpose of the “hook” is to draw the reader in. This sentence not only incorrectly calls it a “book” instead of a NOVEL, it does not really help the reader understand what the essay will be about! Back
Sentence A ,[object Object],This opening “hook” is too obvious a purpose statement. It is neither  interesting nor does it grab the reader’s attention.  The purpose of the “hook” is to draw the reader in with a thought-provoking idea. Just stating what the essay will do lacks imagination and interest. Back
For the Weaknesses, ,[object Object],[object Object]
Notes on the Conclusion ,[object Object],[object Object]
