After selecting your option, begin work on the analysis by reading and re-reading the text. For the actual paper,
consider the following structure:
Paragraph 1—introduction/hook which must include the thesis statement
Body Paragraphs—the analysis of the text based upon your chosen topic. Refer to line numbers when
referencing specific examples from the poem. For example, (lines 4-8) or (line 24).
When writing about a play, refer to specific examples by the act, scene, and line
numbers, separated by periods (for example, (Wilson 1.3.188-190). Fully explain
throughout the essay the significance of the examples as they relate to the thesis.
Final Paragraph—the conclusion that restates and emphasizes the significance of your interpretation.
Additionally, use quotation marks (“ “) for poem and play titles. You must also use present tense verbs when
writing about literature.
Furthermore, prepare a Works Cited Page by recording the bibliographic information, in MLA format, for all
sources used in the paper.
