Thesis:
The Thesis statement should be on page 2 of the document. A thesis statement will guide the paper, so be sure to write a thesis that states what areas you will be covering in the paper. For example, if you are going to discuss one or more themes of the novel, then those themes should be in the thesis statement. Perhaps you will be covering two or more elements of fiction (from your literary terms). Then those terms should be an integral part of the thesis.
Note: In the final version of your paper, the thesis statement is the last sentence of your introductory paragraph. However, for this week, you will only turn in the thesis statement and your annotated bibliography.
Annotated Bibliography:
Along with the thesis, you will submit the annotated bibliography that references and summarizes your research.
Include at least five sources, with three from the Rasmussen online library.
Each annotation should be four to five sentences in length.
Each annotation should include facts, details, and a summary of the article.
Your last statement in the annotation should be written in the first person and state why you chose the resource.
The annotated bibliography should begin on page 3 of this assignment. The Annotated Bibliography should be done in Noodlebib (again see our library resources tab). Please avoid .com sites, personal websites/blogs, and Wikipedia. If you use outside resources, make sure they are credible resources with .edu or .org or .gov, rather than .com.
Attached is an example of an annotated biography.
You will create 5 of these in a Word document. You may export them directly from Noodlebib onto your Word APA template once they are created in that program.
Use 2 of the below questions
What techniques did the author use to create memorable characters?
What point of view is used in the novel? For example, is it written from the first person viewpoint or is it 3rd person, or even 3rd person omniscient? Is the viewpoint important to the story? Find supporting evidence that explains the unique viewpoint presented in this novel.
