Your essay should include:

2. Three paragraphs each illustrating a different point related to your thesis, as supported by evidence in the text. In this essay, you may use direct quotes, though they should make up no more than 25% of your paper.

3. A concluding paragraph in which you sum up your argument and restate your thesis.
