Work of Fiction, Continued

characters (protagonist, antagonist, and all others), and the setting of
the story (time and location).

person, third person omniscient, or third person objective).
• Focus on an interesting or complex character or problem in the plot.

sufficient? Is that support valid?
• Base your thesis on agreeing or disagreeing with the author’s point of
view on the topic of the work.
