DEAR book essays are due the day you return from break. Please follow the format discussed in class:
Format according to MLA (for an example, go to Purdue’s Online Writing Lab). Use 12-point Times New Roman font.
First, Summarize the book in an introductory paragraph. Imagine that you are writing a summary for the back of the book.
Next, include a description of three important characters (one paragraph each), including physical and psychological details, as well as any other information that you feel “defines” the characters. Be specific and use examples from the book.
Then, include a discussion of two major themes in the novel (at least one paragraph each), noting specific examples to illustrate your points. Please relate the thematic content to meaning or the writer’s purpose for writing the novel.
Finally, please “review” the novel in a concluding paragraph. Tell the reader what you thought of the book, whether or not you would recommend it, and WHY. This should be a full paragraph, not a couple of sentences. In other words, be specific.
Of course, this should be typed.
