Explaining how each quotation in your body paragraphs

Question: You`re off to a good start analyzing Faulkner`s "A Rose for Emily." Keep in mind that focusing on character development alone, without explaining how it helps illustrate an overall message is more of a craft essay (for creative writing) than a literary analysis essay. A good thesis statement for this story, that reflects your ideas here, might look something like this:

In Faulkner`s "A Rose for Emily," he uses Emily`s character to illustrate the theme of the old South.

Be sure to focus on the following standards to improve your paper as you revise this into your Week 5 Project:

• Having a warm-up in your intro before you get to your thesis statement.
• Having a clear thesis statement in your intro that focuses on a literary term used in this story.
• Explaining how each quotation (having quotations) in your body paragraphs connects to your thesis statement.
• Organizing your ideas clearly into at least 5 paragraphs. The Week 4 Project Outline can help you write your paper one sentence at a time, by filling in the blanks.
• Adding only one outside scholarly source from South University`s library database. You should include at least one quotation from this chosen article and be sure to cite it in-text and on your References page.
• Formatting your paper in Times New Roman 12pt font, double-spaced, with an APA title page, reference page, and in-text citations.
