Essay Structure (Dune)


Project Text Outline:

Introduction:

The introduction is going to consist of a hook which is going to grab the reader’s attention and then I’m going to briefly summarize the contents of my essay without providing too many details to keep the readers interested. Afterwards I’m going to provide the thesis which is the characters of dune and how they tie in with the story. I’m going to try and make it seem so that the thesis will be the transition at the same time so that my readers won’t be confused as to what is the theses. Normally the thesis is found in the last sentence of the first paragraph and this is not going to change for my essay. I will try to use as many techniques as I know to extend the introduction so that it takes some space because we have twenty pages to fill.

Body:

My body paragraph is going to be a little more complex but hopefully not confusing. I’m thinking about talking about the characters of Dune. I’m still not completely sure how I’m going to approach the characters; if I’m going to talk about the input they had in the story of dune or if I’m going to talk about some important characters and their special attributes. Whatever the case may be, I’m going to use the traditional method learned in class of using a topic sentence, supporting details, and an explanation. It might be more convenient to address the characters under their particular roles; like say, addressing the protagonists, then the villains, then the supporting characters.  I am aware that some characters can be described using more space than others so I will try to improvise the space to the best of my ability.

Conclusion:

My conclusion will follow the traditional structure also. This means that I will restate my thesis, summarize my essay, and leave room for discussion. I will try to come up with something to make it interesting and not so uptight. I plan to make my conclusion around the same size as my introduction to make my essay look a little more structured yet leaned back so that the reader can enjoy it.
