Your English 1102 class will go into more depth in delineating what the specifics are for writing about literature. For your final essay in English 1101, and your essay on The Kite Runner, keep the following GENERAL format expectations in mind:
The first paragraph should introduce the book and author, as well as provide a "hook" for the read AND it should contain an explicit thesis statement (an obvious main idea) that the rest of the paper will support.
The body paragraphs should support the main idea with MANY DEFINITE, SPECIFIC DETAILS FROM THE NOVEL. Do not make unsupported generalizations. Provide SPECIFIC EVIDENCE.
The conclusion needs to bring a graceful or memorable closing to the essay; it should not STOP abrubtly.
Those are the basics . . . you may have more information on format next semester, bu t that's it for your last essay THIS semester.
