Project 3: Character Analysis Testing Information: In-Text Citation- (Hawthorne add page number)   Work Cited Hawthorne, Nathaniel. “Young Goodman Brown.” Columbia University, 1835, https://www.columbia.edu/itc/english/f1124y-001/resources/Young_Goodman_Brown.pdf. Accessed 2 November 2025.   For this assignment, you’ll conduct character analysis on a selected text from Weeks 9-10 or 11-12. Your task is to write a 5-paragraph character analysis essay about a character from one of the short fiction selections. Once you have chosen a character to analyze, choose 2 adjectives or descriptive phrases that you can apply to the character – these are traits that the character possesses. You will organize the body of your essay around these 2 traits. Do not forget to include the author’s history. Format: Standard MLA format (including a Works Cited page) and a creative title. Essay should include in-text citations for quotation, paraphrase, and summary. If you have questions or concerns, use resources available to you from your instructor, Purdue OWL, and the Learning Commons. Introduction: In this first paragraph, you will introduce your character and the title of the story. Use an anecdote, a telling quote or incident from the story, or a summary of how the character changes throughout the story to engage your reader. Remember: your first line must be interesting! Your intro should be roughly 5-6 good sentences. Thesis Statement: This sentence will inform the reader what he or she will read in your essay. The thesis should include the character’s name and the 2 adjectives. MODEL THESIS: Throughout the movie School Ties, Sally Wheeler presents herself as coquettish, pretentious, and disloyal. This is a good thesis because the reader knows the first body paragraph will show how Sally is coquettish (flirtatious; behaving in a light-hearted manner), the second will demonstrate how she is pretentious (snobby), and the third disloyal. Also, the descriptors are vivid and apt for the character. BAD THESIS: In this essay, you will see how Sally is nice, young, and a liar. Remember, never write “in this essay” or “you” in formal compositions. Not to mention, these adjectives are weak – you can do better! Body Paragraph #1: Your topic sentence includes the first adjective listed in your thesis statement to describe your character. You will support that topic sentence with 3 examples from the story. Make sure you explain the connection between the examples and the adjective. This paragraph should be 6-8 good sentences in length. Body Paragraph #2: Your topic sentence includes the second adjective listed in your thesis statement to describe your character. You will support that topic sentence with 3 examples from the story. Make sure you explain the connection between the examples and the adjective. This paragraph should be 6-8 good sentences in length. Body Paragraph #3: Your topic sentence includes the third adjective listed in your thesis statement to describe your character. You will support that topic sentence with 3 examples from the story. Make sure you explain the connection between the examples and the adjective. This paragraph should be 6-8 good sentences in length. Body Paragraph #3: Your topic sentence will mention the lesson your character learned throughout the story. You will support this change by BRIEFLY explaining the events that occurred leading to the change. If there was no change, explain why your character remained a static character using specific examples from the story. Conclusion: Restate your thesis statement, but make sure you reword it. Provide some final thoughts about the character. Explain the lesson learned and what one can learn from them. This is the last paragraph your teacher reads, so make it good (5-6 sentences). Be sure to end with a clincher statement. Guidelines: You need an introduction, four body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Use a MLA page format The paper must be between 600-700 words. The paper should be at least 4 typed pages long (including title page and references) The paper must be typed; 12 point font; Times New Roman; one inch margins; double-spaced. You must have a Creative Title. “David” or something to that effect does not work. Use “A Universal Truth” Writing Tips You Must Follow (or lose points): Check and double-check your paper. Avoid contractions (can’t, won’t, etc) unless in a quotation Don’t use slang or common words (thing, stuff, etc), unless in a quotation Write only in third person. Don’t use “you” or “I.” Do not underline or put your title in quotations Use sentence variety (simple, compound, complex) Use specific, vivid, and detailed incidents and examples to support your thesis Fix all comma splice errors, run-ons, and sentence fragments. Run spell check, but remember that it won’t catch the wrong use of words (hear/here) Write in all present tense. Books never “end” – they continue on for a new reader. Fix all typing errors. Make sure all paragraphs are indented. Do not use “get” or “got.” Use stronger verbs!
