MLA FORMAT... see ~ for commentary def.
**Lead-in Generalization: Designed to peak the interest of your reader and introduce your subject in a general, philosophical manner. Ideas presented here need to coincide with the major ideas of the thesis.
**Transition: Bring up author and title to connect the ideas presented in the lead-in to the ideas in the novel. Also helpful to set up the literary work to be analyzed (brief summary).
**Thesis: Contains the subject (literary work) and an idea of yours about the subject. The central focus of the entire paper must now be proved.
**Topic Sentence: Directly supports/proves the thesis. Perhaps contains some concrete detail, but mostly commentary. Entire body paragraph now used to support this statement.
**Body Point #1: Commentary that directly supports/proves the topic sentence in this paragraph.
**Concrete Detail: Quotation, example, or paraphrase to prove your idea in body point #1.
**Commentary: One to two sentences of your own opinion that analyzes the above concrete detail. Explain how the CD supports your topic sentence.
**Body Point #2: This is your second point to prove your topic sentence.
**Concrete Detail: Use a quotation, example, or paraphrase to prove your idea in body point #2.
~~~~Commentary: One to two sentences that analyze the above concrete detail and explain how the CD supports your topic.
**Thesis: Restate the thesis and major ideas of paper using different wording from the introduction and body of the essay.
**Transition: More summary on subject. Ideas should get more general and less specific, ultimately leading to final generalization.
**Lead-out Generalization: Should follow naturally, logically, philosophically from thesis, body of paper, and literary work. Needs to echo, not repeat, generalization at beginning of paper. These final thoughts should give your paper a well-rounded, satisfying, intelligent ending.
