Due: Feb 17, 2022 by 11:59pm

Resource: see tips and sample paragraph in slides 45-47, here)

In order to practice our skills at analyzing literature and using evidence to back up a statement, you will be writing an analysis paragraph for On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. You paragraph should answer the question: What kind of person is Trevor and how would you describe his relationship with Little Dog?

This is slightly more complex than your paragraph last week. Here, you are being asked to make a claim about, and prove, TWO things - what Trevor himself is like and what his relationship with Little Dog is like.

You should use THREE quotes this time - consider if you want 2 to be about Trevor and 1 about their relationship, or vise versa.

Your paragraph should include:

1 topic sentence/claim that answers the above questions (What kind of person is Trevor and how would you describe his relationship with Little Dog?)

At least 3 quotes from the novel that prove your claim correct

2-3 sentences of analysis (after each quote) in which you explain the quote and how it proves your claim. To build your analysis, consider also WHY what you're saying is important to these characters and this story (an easy way to do this here is to consider how Trevor's personality impacts his and Little Dog's relationship).

You should write at least half a page, but please don't go longer than 1.5 pages.

Think of the feedback you got for your last paragraph and do your best to build on it here. I will be putting this paragraph in as an assessment and giving you a score based on that same rubric (which you can also refer to as you work).

Please do your best and please do NOT go on any websites to help you. I want you to ONLY USE what is in your mind and in the novel. Also, tbh, there isn't enough written about this novel to help you; if you copy it, it'll just be fluff and you'll do poorly anyway.
