Topic and Structure: Character Evolution – Explain how a character from a novel, film, television show, or another medium of your choice evolves—either good or bad—from the beginning to the end of the story. Your introduction will provide a brief synopsis of the story and then smoothly transition into the last sentence of your introduction—the thesis statement. Next, you will develop at least three body paragraphs, each dedicated to one example (such as a scene) in your chosen medium that serves as support for your thesis claim. Finally, you will compile a conclusion paragraph that synthesizes your findings. Creating the thesis statement: Is your argument focused and meaningful in a way that it also offers a clear-cut, but debatable point of view, which a reader might either agree or disagree with? Avoid claims that are too obvious to the readers—offer them a new idea! Remember, a thesis also serves as a map for your essay, providing a promise of subtopics you will discuss in your body paragraphs in the order in which they appear in your essay. Sample thesis statement: In The Midnight’s Shadow, Charles Bellingham begins as a lonely, self-loathing candle maker, but after he meets Miss Charmaine, begins working for the king, and takes an understudy, he transforms into a confident man who sees the townspeople and the kingdom as a friendly and prosperous community. Developing the body paragraphs: The way you present your supporting evidence is just as important as the evidence itself. When you create a body paragraph with the goal of supporting a claim in your thesis, you want to include a balance of research and/or examples with original material. In other words, original material refers to discussions you develop that help explain the connection between your research and/or examples and your thesis claim. You don’t want to assume that your research and/or examples are enough to prove your thesis—you want to inform your reader how and why cited material serves the purpose you intend. Therefore, begin each body paragraph with a topic sentence that affirms your opinion. A topic sentence for the first body paragraph in a paper with the thesis from above might say, “Miss Charmaine, ever so charming in her ways, bumps into a scowling Mr. Bellingham, only to annoy him further, but as he slowly raises his gaze to evaluate the source of this unpleasantry, he is rather surprised to see a such a lovely creature affectionately maintaining his stare, eliciting an intrigue that serves as the first defining moment in Charles’ positive transformation.” Next, follow up the topic sentence with more about this scene that serves as the defining moment. Then, spend significanttime explaining how the events you just discussed prove your thesis. Finally, end the paragraph with a concluding sentence that synthesizes your efforts. Compiling the conclusion: Lastly, compile a conclusion paragraph that summarizes your findings in a new manner, using fresh language and perspective. Make sure to work in a restatement of your thesis statement (but not a repetitive version) as well as any other relevant ideas you present in the essay. You want your conclusion to read like new information but without actually presenting new arguments. In sum, synthesize instead of summarize.

Prompt: Analyze the way(s) Gregor’s experience of alienation (in its various forms) informs the meaning of the novella as a whole. Thesis: Gregor’s experience of alienation changes throughout the story. Initially, he struggled with self alienation which caused him to turn into a cockroach. After his transformation he struggles with external alienation.

Sokel expresses how Gregor Samsa’s self alienation turn him into the creature he is. It is stated that in order to be truly human there has to some kind of self- determination rooted in ones life. Even if one does not enjoy their job, there has to be a sense of fulfillment in their job. Sokel points ou that Gregor’s life and actions are based on external needs. With no friends, no relationship and a job he hates, he has no outlet for his desire. Quindadiarto, Febri. “Identity Crisis and Alienation in The Metamorphosis: Existential Approach.” (2020) Quindadiarto explains how Jean Paul Sartre’s theory of existentialism is depicted in the Gregor Samsa. The purpose of the study is to reveal how society influenced Gregor to experience identity crisis and the relation between identity crisis and alienation depicted in The Metamorphosis. Society contribute to how individual looks his identity and contribute how individual picks his own choices even if they are a free being. In case, alienation is happened when Gregor is ignore and feeling ashamed of his choices.
