The goal of this assignment is to write a well-reasoned and well-supported argument about literature. Your ideas about literature matter. As long as you can back up your opinion with evidence from the novel, there are no wrong interpretations. Those who submit their essays on time will be allowed to revise and resubmit their essays for a replacement grade. Write a 500+ word argument analysis about one of the themes, symbols, motifs, characters, or other literary elements in The Hunger Games. Use evidence from the text and cite it using MLA formatting. Note that an analysis is not a summary. It does not summarize or paraphrase. Your job is to create an argumentative essay with a strong thesis that has at least three reasons. Each body paragraph should be an argument with a clear claim, ample evidence from the text (with page numbers), and a logical analysis that ties your ideas together. Essay Requirements: Be sure the essay has these elements: An introduction with a “hook” and a thesis statement Each body paragraph is an argument with a claim, the evidence from the novel, and warrant that relate to the thesis statement [three main ‘legs’ to the thesis statement = three body paragraphs] A conclusion that explains the most significant impact of the novel, refers back to the hook and has a clincher sentence A title that repeats or reflects words from the clincher sentence
