next sentence are related. Background – only what’s relevant to your topic
Quotes INTRODUCE! When Stephen is talking with Sachi after she has
returned toYamaguchi in shame. . . THEN Quote When Stephen is talking with Sachi after she has
returned toYamaguchi in shame, he says, “‘There’s a great deal to talk about. Matsu needs you!’” (Tsukiyama 76).
If you choose to do a Works Cited page (EC +1), you don’t have to write (Tsukiyama #) for each quote; just write “words word words” (#).
Commentary Be sure that each example is explained. How this relates to the thesis Example: This quote shows that Stephen has
noticed the interdependent relationship that Matsu and Sachi have formed. Even though Matsu seems to get along fine by himself, Stephen notices how Sachi’s absence affects Matsu. He sees how these two people love and support each other.
Transition – “Given all this evidence . . .” “Clearly, . . .” “It’s not surprising that . . .”
Echo – don’t copy and paste – thesis Review main evidence End with an interesting idea; apply to daily/read
life; make the reader happy that s(he) read your paper!
