I’m studying for my English class and need an explanation.
Hi, I got some feed back from my prof,
-The first paragraph is too much summary, you can separate them into supporting paragraphs.
-The techniques are too broad, like “characterization”,”imagery”,‘symbolism’. you can describe them a little bit, such as how Yiyun Li use this technique in the book.
-The top sentence of each supporting paragraph should be very strong, it should state your main idea of the paragraph and connect the idea to thesis statement.
-The structure of supporting paragraph should be:
1.Topic sentence(state the main idea of paragraph and connect to the thesis statement)
2.Example,Quote (The structure of quote should be Introduce the quote—show the quote—analysis the quote)
3.Analysis
-The title should be interesting, don’t just be “analysis of …”
-The main idea should be very clear.
-1200-1400 words.
