END OF THE NOVEL ESSAY

Using the novel you just finished reading, analyze the main character. How did the main character change from the beginning to the end of the novel? What lesson did the character learn about life? What experiences in the book helped bring about this change? Write a five paragraph essay explaining how the main character changed using examples and quotes from the novel to support your ideas.

Remember our example essay in class and organize your own essay in the following way:


*Title: A clever, snappy title can help grab the reader’s attention.
*The first paragraph is the introduction. In this paragraph, grab the reader’s attention and then be sure to state your thesis.
*The second paragraph should begin: “In the beginning of the story,…”
*The third paragraph should begin: “Later in the story,…”
*The fourth paragraph should begin: “By the end of the story,…”
*The fifth paragraph is the conclusion. In the conclusion, you should wrap up your essay. You could restate your theme in other words. Leave us with something to think about.
