DIRECTIONS: Below is a suggested structure for your paragraph response. Use it, ignore it, adapt it -- do whatever makes the most sense to you; you are NOT required to use this format, but it IS recommended for easy organization. Whatever you do, don’t forget to double-space!
Compose a theme statement for “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant. Then, give supporting evidence as to WHY you believe this theme statement fits the story. Supporting evidence can be direct quotes or paraphrases- either way, make sure to EXPLAIN HOW this evidence supports your theme statement.
FIRST SENTENCE: Your first sentence should tell your reader, your teacher(s), what your theme statement is. SECOND SENTENCE: This should present a piece of information or evidence that supports your theme statement. THIRD SENTENCE: This should present another piece of information or evidence that supports your theme statement. FOURTH SENTENCE: This should present a final piece of information or evidence that supports your theme statement. FIFTH SENTENCE: This sentence should conclude your paragraph response without simply repeating your first sentence. This sentence is a great space to explain WHY your theme MATTERS inside and outside of this story.
