Let the reader know yourthesis in your first paragraph. A thesis is a statement that takes a certain position regarding the texts in question and can be defended throughout the essay.
Each paragraph should discussone idea. There should be a clear topic sentenceoutlining that idea.
Be sure tocite all direct and indirect quotes (paraphrases of the texts).
Useevidence from the texts to back up each of your claims.
Do not summarize the text;analyze
Finish with aconclusion, in which you rearticulate your thesis. The conclusion is the “so what?” section, in which you can tell the reader why your argument is important.
