Hero’s Story Analysis
- Choose one of the questions below to focus your response, or you can come up with your own question after consulting with me.
- Make sure you have a point to make about the text before you start. How does your answer to the question change how we should understand the story?
- Once you’ve decided, go back to the text and look for proof. You’ll need to use sufficient proof in your response to make your point. Keep in mind, though, that block quotes will hurt your response more than they help it. Focus on short, direct quotes from the test instead. Remember to cite your textual evidence in your response.
- Both your introduction and conclusion should grab and keep the attention of your readers; the introduction should roadmap the paper, and the conclusion should answer the important question: “so what?”.
