How to write a good essay on a theme of a book

English

ANTONII [103]3 years ago
5 0
Literary themes are implied through elements of the text, so taking notes as you read helps you identify and gather the book's clues. Underlining interesting passages, jotting down questions, marking moments when characters have to make important or difficult decisions and recording instances of symbolism and foreshadowing will deepen your interpretation of the book while also building a toolbox of material to draw from when you write your essay.

Often a theme can be gleaned from an evaluation of the circumstances surrounding repeated objects or symbols in the story. The central theme can also be identified by examining the characters' strengths, weaknesses, values, thoughts and actions. The theme is not explicitly stated, so your notes are crucial to identifying and evaluating the book's central theme.

When you have determined the theme of the book, you can formulate a thesis statement. The thesis statement conveys a particular point about the theme and how it is manifested in the book.

You should always analyze what you’ve written. The analysis shows how the theme is illustrated in the text and why the theme matters, both in story and in the real world. Your analysis can examine why characters make specific choices, how the book's setting impacts the plot, what conflicts exist in the text and how those conflicts are resolved.

Upon hearing the news of the committee’s plans, the animal shelter workers were overjoyed, and they asked if they could attend t
Tanya [424]

B) The plans for the walk were coming together, and José and the other committee members waited with anticipation.

This sentence would be the best ending for this paragraph. The paragraph is all about the preparations for the walk-a-thon. This sentence best summarizes these efforts when it states "The plans for the walk were coming together". It also hints at what is to come when it talks about the anticipation Jose and his team were feeling. Option A only talks about Jose's feeling and does not provide a big enough connection to the rest of the events in the paragraph. Options C and D continue to talk about the plans made, but does not conclude or summarize anything. The ending of a paragraph should offer some conclusion of ideas.
