“Crafting an Argument: An Outline for Analyzing Literary Texts”

Now we need to focus your ideas into an outline. 
Your essay should not summarize or retell the story. It should make an argument and
support it with sub-arguments in the topic sentences. 
You will probably need at least 2 quotations per paragraph
You might end up doing something like this in your outline, though I don’t know for sure–it depends on your topic:
1. Thesis
2. Text 1 Summary
3. Text 1 
quote 1
quote 2
4. Text 1
5.Text 1
6.Text 1
7. Text 2 Summary
8. Text 2
