Use notes from your chart about Scout’s character and her perception of another character or setting in To Kill a Mockingbird to help you write your literary analysis essay. As you develop your draft, be sure to: • Write an introduction that includes a general statement about the first-person narration of To Kill a Mockingbird; a specific statement that refers to Lee, her text, and her topic; and a thesis statement that conveys Lee’s characterization of Scout and how it shapes the reader’s perceptions of a setting or another character. • Support your claim with the most relevant and compelling quotations from your chart about Scout’s character and her relationship to another character or setting from the novel. • Use quotation marks around text that comes directly from the novel. • Use a variety of phrases and clauses to convey your thoughts and ideas and add interest to your writing. • Write a conclusion that revisits your thesis in a new light. • Meet all the criteria in the writing prompt for your essay. Assess and Reflect Read the following paragraph. Then write a paragraph analyzing how Boo is being characterized by Jem and explaining why you think Scout chose to include this description from Jem’s perspective. Be sure to refer to telling details and word choice in your analysis. Jem gave a reasonable description of Boo: Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that’s why his hands were bloodstained—if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off. There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time.
