    As you look for language-details in the story, consider the following options:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Word choice \u2013 which words stand out to you? Are any words repeated? Are words used in a strange or unexpected way? What connotations and emotions do particular words carry?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Point of view \u2013 where do we get to see what a character is thinking or feeling? What can <\/span><\/p>\n

      you tell about their emotions and speaking tone? Is there a difference between what they <\/span><\/p>\n

      say out loud and what they are thinking in their head? Are we supposed to agree with the <\/span><\/p>\n

      character or are they undermined somehow?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Syntax (sentence structure) \u2013 are the sentences long or short? Are there any incomplete <\/span><\/p>\n

      sentences? What kind of punctuation is used? What about rhythm \u2013 do the sentences read fast or slow?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Imagery \u2013 what sorts of things does the passage lead you to visualize? What do those <\/span><\/p>\n

      things have in common? How do the images relate to the meaning of the passage? How <\/span><\/p>\n

      does the imagery develop as you work through the passage?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Make an argument about the illuminating significance of one or more language-details in \u201cThe <\/span><\/p>\n

      Neglected Garden\u201d by Kathe Koja. Evaluate what the language-detail shows about the author\u2019s <\/span><\/p>\n

      definition of Evil.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Begin the essay with a short introduction in which you state a main claim as a thesis statement. The thesis statement should take the following format:<\/span><\/p>\n


      <\/span><\/p>\n

      By looking at [language detail X], we can see [implicit argument Y], which most readers don\u2019t <\/span><\/p>\n

      see; this is important because it shows us [second implicit argument Z].<\/span><\/p>\n


      <\/span><\/p>\n

      -The essay should be divided into paragraphs of roughly 150-200 words each. Each paragraph <\/span><\/p>\n

      should focus tightly on a specific language-detail from the text, using textual evidence (quotes) <\/span><\/p>\n

      to support your analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u2022 <\/span><\/span>Begin each paragraph with a topic sentence that briefly identifies a language-detail and why it matters.<\/span><\/p>\n

      -The narrator\u2019s use of word X is important because it adds idea Y to the author\u2019s definition of <\/span><\/p>\n

      evil.<\/span><\/p>\n

      – <\/span><\/span>When the narrator\u2019s sentences start to run longer and faster, this shows us X about the <\/span><\/p>\n

      boyfriend\u2019s mental state.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Second, introduce a quote that shows that language-detail in action. The quote should be 2-3 sentences.<\/span><\/p>\n

        – <\/span><\/span>The narrator says \u201cQuote.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

        – <\/span><\/span>The boyfriend says \u201cQuote.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Third, analyze the quote in your own words. Identify the relevant language-detail and<\/span><\/p>\n

        how it achieves its effect on the reader.
        <\/span>– The sentences start to run faster here because of the lack of punctuation. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

        – <\/span><\/span>This creates the effect X on the reader.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Fourth, evaluate the significance of the language detail. How does it illuminate \/ add to \/ <\/span><\/p>\n

        change \/ complicate the author\u2019s definition of Evil?<\/span><\/p>\n

        – <\/span><\/span>The syntax here reveals the author\u2019s idea that Evil is X.
        <\/span>– <\/span><\/span>This actually complicates the earlier definition of Evil because Y.<\/span><\/p>\n

        As you put your paragraph together, it\u2019s a good idea to use transition words to help your reader understand the logic of your analysis. <\/span><\/p>\n
