Introduction Paragraph: (ESSAY)
1.
Introduce
the story/poem/play you’re writing about.
Ex. “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston tells the
story of a Black washerwoman named Delia in 1920’s Florida who must contend
with an abusive husband.
2.
Introduce
your topic. For example, if you want to talk about the snake as a symbol, talk a little about how the snake appears in
the story.
Ex. One of the ways in which
Delia’s husband humiliates and frightens her is by bringing a snake into their
home. Delia, a meek, churchgoing woman is deathly afraid of snakes, as they
stand for everything which she and her religion oppose.
3.
Conclude
your introduction with the Magic Thesis Statement (MTS)
Ex. By looking at the snake as a symbol, we can see a representation of an
evil that ultimately devours itself, which most readers don’t see. Although
the snake begins as a means for Sykes to intimidate Delia, it soon gets free
from it’s holding box, enters her laundry basket and, in the climax of the
story, bites and kills Sykes rather than Delia. It is important to look at this aspect of the text because it
illustrates the theme that karma will ultimately destroy evildoers.
NOTE: Theme should not include mention of the characters in
the story. This is because the theme is where the story opens up to apply to
everyday life, not just the text. Therefore, your theme should be what an
author has to say about a big idea (karma, in this case) generally, NOT AS IT
APPLIES ONLY TO THE STORY.
NOTE: Be as specific as possible. You don’t want the title
or an element of fiction (alone) or the character’s name to go in the first
slot ever (By looking at “Sweat”…. By looking as Delia…. By looking at symbolism….). Tell us what
symbol specifically you’ll be looking at. It should be one symbol (the frying
pan as a symbol) or one group of symbols (domestic items symbolically). It
should not be multiple, unrelated symbols (By looking at the snake, the house
and the frying pan symbolically…)
Body Paragraphs (at least 3):
1.
Situate
us in the story and introduce your topic
Ex. In the beginning of the
story, Sykes brings a snake into Delia’s home while she is separating laundry
by light colors and dark colors. This is the first time Hurston introduces the
snake and through her descriptive language we can see how the snake is symbolic
of Sykes’ evil.
2.
Bring
in a quote as evidence to back up you point (in this case that the snake is
symbolic of Sykes’ evil)
3.
Analyze
the quote. Explain how it does indeed go to show that the snake is
representative of Sykes’ evil. Do not end a paragraph on a quote. You need to
explain/analyze your quotes each time.
Conclusion Paragraph:
1. Restate your
thesis (in different words)
2. Summarize your
main points (in different words)
3. End with a
personal comment/suggestion for further inquiry
To further our understanding of Hurston’s use of the snake
as a symbol, we may want to do a comparative analysis between the snake in the
Book of Genesis and the snake in “Sweat”.
NOTE: Do not
write “In conclusion….” Or “In summary….” Or anything like that.
NOTE: Short
stories are always in quotations: “Sweat” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find”
NOTE: If a
quotation is long and you only need certain sections you can do this to shorten
it and get to the point:
“glkrsajgeijgigrqiljglirgiqng … gasijrgnqeignijgrnq … ljgnqilgnqlin” (23).
NOTE: The above
citation structure. Quote, end quote, parenthesis with page number, period.
