I have uploaded instructions below. The book is over in cold blood by truman capote.
This essay should not be written in first-person (I, we, us) or second-person (you) perspective. The essay should contain a hook, thesis statement, relevancy, transition sentences, introduction of the problem or issue, explanation of the topic’s significance, debatable claim, explanation of how the thesis contributes to the conversation in a meaningful way, and conclusion. The essay should express your ideas clearly with the use of sensory details. Each paragraph should contain approximately three to five sentences expressing your ideas clearly with transition sentences that link one idea to the next. The conclusion should include a restatement of the thesis, final thoughts, summary of the main ideas, and closing statement.
Your essay should be five paragraphs long. For this assignment, you must find and integrate quotes from your novel. When supporting the claims in the body paragraphs, make the claim, support it with a direct quote or paraphrase from the text/resource, then analyze the claim or support in your own words. Your completed paper should be a minimum of 400 words written in 12 pt. Times New Roman font. You must include in-text citations on a separate “Works Cited” page. No research or sources other than your novel are needed.
While the paper should be a minimum of 400 words, this means 400 of your own original words. The quotes, cover page, notes, footnotes, endnotes, and “Works Cited” page will not count toward the word limit. Use quotes that are no longer than 20 words; direct quotes that exceed three lines of prose must be in block quote format, though the use of block quotations should be rare, if at all. Enter the word count at the top of your paper. It is highly encouraged to exceed the minimum word count to analyze the thesis fully; meeting minimum requirements often means earning the minimum grade.
Word limitations are included in this assignment to help you consider your writing and communicate concisely and coherently and learn how to synthesize what you’ve learned. Many words do not mean you have demonstrated understanding. Choose your words wisely, and make every one of them count! Writing concisely demonstrates a high level of critical thinking and understanding.
Step 3: Essay Structure
Paragraph 1: Introduction
Begin with an attention-getting statement or hook sentence. Include the title and author of the novel you have chosen. Briefly tell the reader what purpose you believe the imagery or figurative language in the novel serves and create a thesis statement. Add several sentences that outline the body paragraphs’ main ideas; the reader should not be surprised by any content. The first paragraph should end with a transition into the first body paragraph.
Paragraph 2: How is the imagery or figurative language important to the text?
Step One: Make the claim and support it with evidence from the text. Find one specific place in the novel that uses imagery or figurative language. Include a direct quote to show this. (Do not forget to cite properly.) For example, Fitzgerald alludes to the light at the end of the dock as a metaphor for Gatsby’s yearning for his love for Daisy as well as for the American Dream. “Compared to the great distance that had separated him from Daisy, it had seemed very near to her, almost touching her. It had seemed as close as a star to the moon. Now it was again a green light on a dock” (52).
Step Two: Analyze and dissect the quote you provide; do not summarize the actions performed or how the events unfolded. This will be written in your own words, and you want to show your understanding of any underlying meaning of the quote.
Paragraph 3: How is the imagery or figurative language important to the text?

Paragraph 5: Conclusion
Restate the thesis using different language than in the introduction. Use phrases such as: in conclusion, to wrap things up, in the end, etc. Summarize the analysis made in each body paragraph. Present an overall concluding statement based on the quotes you’ve used and analysis you’ve provided.
