THESIS: Your thesis is your answer to the question that you asked. For example, if your question was “How does Hemingway develop themes about communication in relationships?”, your thesis might be “Hemingway develops the idea that relationships are fundamentally flawed when communication is not transparent through his use of dialogue, subtle narration and characters, and symbolic setting.”
Put your thesis at the bottom of your introduction. Before your thesis, you can summarize the story and introduce the big ideas you will be discussing in the essay. Remember that your thesis should be arguable.
CITATIONS: Use MLA style citations. You do NOT need a Works Cited page. Just include in-
text citations. All it is the author’s last name and the page number for the quotation at the end of any sentence where you quote or paraphrase something from the text
