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

English
1 answer:
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.

Hope this helped :D

Answer:

C) The coach spoke with Sam after the game.

C) merges with

(C) Students and teachers throw away a lot of used paper

(A) The king sat high up on his ceremonial chair

Explanation:

1)

For changing a passive voice of verb tenses into active voice.

  • Change object of the tense into subject, and write it in subject's place
  • Change subject into object and use it in object's place.
  • Identify the tense from helping verb(s) used in the passive voice, and use that tense in active voice. (use of " only <em>was</em>" in passive voice shows that this is past indefinite tense.

2)

Present can not destroy or control the future. It does not rally around future (rally around means to join or support someone in a difficult task). Present fuses or merges with future. For example some event of tomorrow will become a present moment when that time comes.

3)

Text of the point B has concluded the first part about what recycling program is and how other schools organize it. The author concludes this paragraph by saying that they needed a recycling program of that type in their school. The text from point C is talking about strategies to arrange that program in their school. It is here when a new idea starts; and hence from here it should be made a new paragraph.

4)

The text before point A is the introduction to a state, king and his place for judging the accused. This part describes the setting of the story. From point A onward the procedure of trying and punishing an accused person is described. It is here (point A), where a new idea/information is presented. So the paragraph should be split into two separate ones from this point.
