Outline

I figured that the explanations of these posts are a little long. And I am hoping you come back to use this site, so I thought an outline of what I've said would be a good tool. So for those of you returning and not wanting to sift through my massive amounts of words, here is an outline:

Introduction:
1st sentence is general
Then get specific
Thesis (with literary devices last!)
Body:
Introduce theme again
Introduce literary device
Supporting quotes
Supporting Quotes:
Lead into quotes by explaining what the quote is saying.
Place quote
Conclude quote
End Body:
End each quote with a conclusion
End each literary device with a conclusion
Conclusion:
Restate thesis sentence
Begin to go general
Relation sentence (TILL)
