Remember, symbols are tangible objects that represent deeper ideas. Themes are main ideas in a story.
Here are some guidelines:
1) Use MLA format, including embedded citations and a Works Cited page at the end of your paper. (This will be modeled in class.)
2) Write around 500 words.
3) Write 5 paragraphs using the following organization:
Paragraph #1: Introduce the idea of symbols and themes in NEVER LET ME GO
Paragraph #2: Identify you symbol and cite textual evidence of its importance
Paragraph #3: Provide further textual evidence of the symbol and its importance
Paragraph #4: Connect the symbol to a major theme in the story
Paragraph #5: Conclusion (No new ideas!) — Simply restate the thesis you presented in the introductory paragraph
