Importance of Character: Fully explain what this character tells us about the human condition and our own lives.

Thesis: Makes an assertion about the character in a clear and concise statement and includes subpoints that show you’ve analyzed the inner character of the character. Or, you can list two or three of the main traits you see in the character. For example: Scrooge shows through his words and actions he is a profoundly miserable person, but when he is forced to see how his actions hurt others as well as himself, he transforms into a kind and loving person. (5 pts)
Subpoints: At least two subpoints and supporting quotes (Note: Only one phrase or sentence quote is necessary per paragraph, but it’s good to select at least two quotes that support each subpoint, so you can pick from those quotes while drafting your essay.) Topic sentences tie directly into thesis. (5 pts)
Conclusion: A working statement in one or more sentences that sums up your ideas. (5 pts)
