Read our lecture note on the Illustration strategy (https://modesto.instructure.com/courses/46995/pages/lecture-note-illustration). Also, review the Paragraph 3.2 (https://modesto.instructure.com/courses/46995/assignments/1214420)you completed for this topic.
You will write a compelling introductory paragraph (hook, topic, relevance, thesis) that ends with your thesis statement. Your body paragraphs will begin with straightforward topic sentences and develop examples from the short story.
You'll also edit your work to ensure that your writing is free of language and usage errors.
You will NOT be using outside research; you will use only the story itself, our course materials, and personal and common knowledge. You may NOT use any of the language in these instructions.
Please be sure to use your own words to summarize/paraphrase/refer to specific elements of the story.
For this assignment, you must quote directly at least two passages from the story. Your quotations must be punctuated properly with quotation marks and with an MLA style parenthetical citation (all of the quoted words together should not exceed 10% of your total word count--80 words total).
