ENGL 110 College of San Mateo We the Animals Book Essay BackgroundThey can be best friends, they can be worst enemies. They can be confidants, they can be blabber mouths. They can be role models, they can be bad influences. Or, they can be all of these things at once. Who are these terribly complex beings? Siblings, of course. In the literature of this unit, all protagonists share one thing in common: they have siblings. We’ve discussed the unique bonds that these characters share with their siblings, and the development (or lack thereof) that come as a result.TaskIn a 4-5 page paper, respond to the following question: how do the siblings in this unit affect the development of the protagonists?

When planning for this essay:●Annotate the text: Mark pages/take notes where siblings interact, or where you note moments when siblings have an impact on the character. This impact does not have to be immediate; it can be delayed. Ie, something that happens to a character early in the story can very well show its impact later in the story. Pay close attention. ●Consider ways in which common traits emerge among the protagonists across the stories. ●Challenge yourself to incorporate different stories into the same paragraph, demonstrating deeper understanding of the characters and the role of siblings in these stories.●Proofread and Edit: Check grammar, punctuation, and spelling before submitting the final draft.●Have an essay conference!

A successful essay will: ●Maintain focus on the prompt and thesis throughout the essay.●Feature fully developed paragraphs which include a claim, support, and literary analysis.●Show a clear understanding of the character’s idea of friendship, and how those ideas came to be.●Avoid plot summary or simple paraphrasing, and instead use specific evidence from the book to show your stance.●Leave out first person statements and references. ●Lack process errors (punctuation, spelling issues that can be eliminated through proofreading). 5 process errors= no pass.
