Model for Book Analysis:
 
First Paragraph- Start with some context of the time period. What were the social, political or economic issues that are relevant to your thesis? Then give your thesis (easiest way is to give the Author’s purpose as a thesis) as the last sentence in the first paragraph.
 
Second Paragraph- Talk about the author’s life and how that shaped his/her point of view or perspective about the issues of the day. Remember to look at this through the lens of an historian rather than simply a modern day reader; morality and political views change and it is important to see the author as either a product of his/her time or a revolutionary thinker. Be sure to cite your sources and link your evidence to the thesis (best done in the last sentence).
 
Third Paragraph- Relate to your reader who the author’s intended audience was. This will most certainly be your opinion but remember to always write in the third person. Instead of saying “I think”, say “arguably” or “one may draw the conclusion that…” If you find an expert who gives an opinion on this, make sure you cite the source.
 
Fourth Paragraph- SYNTHESIS !!- How can you relate the information you just provided to something else in a different context or time period? For instance: did Harriet Beecher Stowe influence the women of her time period besides advancing the abolitionist movement?
 
Fifth Paragraph- Bring your essay back to your main thesis by giving a quick overview of your argument(s). and  restate your thesis in a different way that is relevant to your essay.
