Monday, in class

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 is the relationship between Little Dog and his mother?

Your paragraph should include:

1 topic sentence that answers the above question (remember, the relationship is complex, so you want to say more than "good" or "bad" or "loving")

At least 2 quotes from the novel that prove your answer correct

2-3 sentences of analysis (after each quote) in which you explain the quote and how it proves your topic sentence about Little Dog and his mother's relationship.

Think of it like the body paragraph in an essay... in fact, this CAN be one of the body paragraphs in your final essay! I'm not going to give you too much guidance for this, because I want you to see what you recall from previous LA classes and go from there. You'll get credit for just writing it, as well as feedback for how to improve.

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.
