I need support with this Writing question so I can learn better.
Hi, I need help writing an analysis essay on the TV show GILMORE GIRLS, for my english class.
Directions:
write a 750-1000 word analysis essay on theme of gender in Gilmore Girls.
This essay should include a clear thesis and well developed key ideas with topic sentences and supporting examples. The essay should also follow the conventional organization of the following three elements:
- Introduction: introduces the subject/s being analyzed and, in a thesis statement, states the reason for the analysis and the main ideas/claims that support that reason. The thesis should be the last sentence in the introduction.
- Body: contains at least three body paragraphs that begin with topic sentences (supporting arguments) that prove your thesis. Each topic sentence should be a reason why the thesis is true.
- Conclusion: summarizes the analysis and explains new understanding.
Suggestions to develop the body of the essay:
Analyze the characters' representations of gender (summary does not belong in an analysis!)
The thesis and topic sentences should be the strongest, most analytical sentences in your essay.
Support each point with specific examples and details from the episodes you watched
Relate each point of analysis back to the thesis
Follow a clear organizational pattern
Include transitional words and phrases to make your observations clear
use specific supporting examples from the episodes you watched. You may also include quotes or paraphrases from the selected readings, as long as you cite them correctly. Note: No general summaries of the shows.
