Description
Response Essay 1: Specifics
You will want to include information about your novel in the introductory paragraph:
The title of your novel
The author of your novel
An interesting and relevant quotation from your novel (possibly)
A summary of the issue from the novel you will be exploring further in your essay, and how that issue is presented in the context of the novel as a whole (definitely)
The novel is the jumping-off point and the framework for your Fourth Topic Essay. You may wander a bit from the novel in the three main paragraphs of your Fourth Topic Essay into uncharted territory, but the novel is still the framework, and must be discussed in Response Essay 1/the introductory paragraph, and in Response Essay 8/the concluding paragraph. My fourth essay will be called The story of Botswana based in the novel of the Alexander McCall Smith #1 Ladies' Detective Agency.
