The document provides guidelines for a 3-4 page paper analyzing the young adult novel The Giver. It instructs students to summarize the novel in 1-2 paragraphs. The summary should not include unnecessary details, but should provide enough context since the grader has likely not read the novel. Students should then write a thesis about which elements of analysis they will use to determine if The Giver is an effective example of high fantasy or dystopia. The body of the paper should apply these analytical elements, using quotes and examples from the novel, to examine themes like the hero's journey. The conclusion should not simply restate the paper, but could discuss the student's experience reading the novel or make comparisons to other works.
