  1. Things to consider… Theme • Thesis will have theme embedded in the same sentence. This is your CLAIM. Ex: Hamlet’s actions as he avenges his father’s death illustrates that revenge may not be the best solution in any situation and that a person should learn to forgive and move on. See next slide.

  2. Thesis: Hamlet’s actions as he avenges his father’s death illustrates that revenge may not be the best solution in any situation and that a person should learn to forgive and move on. Part in Red will be what I use from the book to prove the UNDERLINED theme. See power point on assign drive (about The Great Gatsby) about theme statement details.

  3. Evidence and Warrant Hamlet’s actions as he avenges his father’s death illustrates that revenge may not be the best solution in any situation and that a person should learn to forgive and move on. What evidence from the novel (should come from beginning, middle, and end) will help you PROVE your theme statement. HOW does the novel DEVELOP your theme statement. What events happen in the novel that would give you the idea for this theme statement? In my thesis (claim), I focused just on Hamlet’s actions, but I could easily add Laertes to the thesis as well. Your warrant will then explain HOW and WHY this evidence supports and proves your thesis statement. It would also include the analysis of your visual.

  4. Character Change • Every character on the list changes somehow, even if it isn’t super obvious. The change may be from worse to worst. It might be from keeping a secret to finally revealing it. It might be in the way a person views your character. Think about the story arc of your character and think deeply about the change from the beginning to the end of the novel. • Your claim will be how the character changed from the beginning to the end.

  5. Turning Point • Your claim will be what is the most important turning point for your character. It might overlap with the previous section on character change, but will be the main focus of this paragraph.

  6. Symbol • Think about what the book offers about your character. • The symbol must be supported by the text and must be a person, place or thing NOT an event. • Your claim will be that this is a symbol for your character.
