Please remember the following:
Avoid any and all summary sites within your essay.
Do not use AI beyond the assigned AI version – I will be carefully checking for this. 
Use MLA format and citations in this essay. 
Make sure your essay has a clear introduction and thesis statement (topic plus point about that topic) at the bottom of your introduction.  Please introduce your chosen short story in your introduction.
Make sure your body paragraphs are focus on proving your thesis statement – theme of the story. 
Do not summarize the story.  I have read the story and know it well.  I want to know your unique interpretation of this story.  Use literary vocabulary and connect it to the reading.
Make sure to have a conclusion that does not bring in new information.
Use literary present and third person in your essay, as discussed in lesson two.
