First Literary Analysis Response

1) Return first assignment - discuss and review... place in portfolio. What are these 6 point scales?

2) Anyone want to go to Bard on the Beach?

2) Literary Analysis Paragraph - The Character of Mitch.

Topic: In a well-developed paragraph explain how Mitch, in DW Wilson's "Don't Touch the Ground," is a round character. (In other words, describe Mitch's conflicting character traits.) 

This response should be in third person, and formal in tone. Include and integrate into your sentences at least 4 short quotations that support your main idea.


The thesis will contain the title of the story and author's name. The thesis is the most important sentence - show me you best critical thinking!

See the sample here.

Don't forget our ever expanding style checklist:
  • Sentence Variety
  • Elevated Vocabulary
  • Avoid Contractions
  • No slang
  • Avoid cliches
  • Minimal use of be verbs and passive voice
