How to Write a Critical Essay (Because telling you this way seems a bit easier and might be helpful)
- Develop your thesis.
2. Develop a rough outline based on your research notes.
- So basically write down notes from the story you think are really important from the story.
3. Begin your essay with an engaging sentence that gets right into your topic.
4. Provide background information to help guide your readers.
- Like how you talked about him having no friends and the only ones he had were online friends and were about to leave him, and his basically nonexistent relationship with his parents.
5. Use your body paragraphs to discuss specific components of your text.
- 1st paragraph - Like the theme
- 2nd paragraph - why it fits as a science fiction book
- 3rd paragraph - And then maybe have this be about imagery or characterization or mood/tone of the story (something like that)
6. Now it's time for the conclusion which is basically tying up all of your main ideas into this paragraph.
Another great thing to do is to add quotes from the story that support what your talking about.
