Talk about the monster in the novel and relate the articles

Find rough outline below:
1. Introduction: this includes the following, not necessarily in this order: full title of novel, full name of author, main idea you wish to focus on. Any subsequent usage of authors’ names is limited to last name only. If title of text is long, you may also choose 1-2 representative words if referred to later in the reflection.
Sample: In Fefu and Her Friends (full title, underlined or in italics as this is a novel), Maria Irene Fornes (full name of author) creates a setup that departs from our general expectations of theatrical productions. Though the first act is typical of other plays in its formation and arrangement, the second act splits the scene into four parts, forcing the readers to shift their attention as required by the set. This leaves us perplexed as to the meaning of this fragmentation in the set and whether it connects to a bigger theme that Fornes (use last name only in future references to author) is trying to present here. Familiarity with Fornes may naturally lead the reader to believe that this fragmented presentation of Act II is a reflection of the fragmented nature of the women she is presenting on stage (main idea).
2. Body: Three to five paragraphs explaining your main point, choosing one example (of the fragmentation of the characters, for example, as presented above; or of the fragmented setup) to support your main idea. Quotes are necessary here, but the bulk of this depends on a brief summary of each of these main ideas, supported by a few short quotes. Ensure your own ideas and reflections are apparent here and do not rely strongly on summaries of events. Each paragraph needs to start with an opening statement and a concluding one.
3. Conclusion: reflect on your essay, briefing on what you explained, and ending with a final thought. You can use one of these to start this final thought: I believe there are other strengths ..., This may also open a discussion into ..., My reflection might be the result of ..., or any other similar variations you can think of.
