Novel compare and contrast
Semester exam paper
For this essay you will be writing a paper about one of the TWO NOVELS that we recently read in class (Reg – Outsiders or TWTTIN; ADV – Gospel or Princess). You will analyze how this book connects to life here at Fishers Junior High. I want to see the connections that can be made between our novel and our real life here at school.
Your task is to compare and contrast the CONFLICTS (Internal and/or External), the PLOT and the CHARACTERS of both the novel you chose and our school. Be sure to provide support for each similarity or difference you come up with.
You will need to find evidence from the NOVEL to support your comparisons or to justify your differences. The stronger your argument and the more convincing you are, the better your grade will be. I am looking to see how you address at least three main issues in your essay.
For the essay, you don’t have to prewrite, but I would encourage it to help keep you organized. Be sure to have an intro w/ hook and thesis, body with supporting details that answer the question AND examples, as well as a conclusion.
DUE FRIDAY 5/18 Beginning of class
