We left the home place behind, mile by slow mile, heading for the mountains, across the prairie where the wind blew forever. At first there were four of us with one horse wagon and its skimpy load. Pa and I walked, because I was a big boy of eleven. My two little sisters romped and trotted until they got tired and had to be boosted up to the wagon bed.
That was no covered Conestoga, like Pa’s folks came West in, but just an old farm wagon, drawn by one weary horse, creaking and rumbling westward to the mountains, toward the little woods town where Pa thought he had an old uncle who owned a little two-bit sawmill.

…And I don’t play the dozens or believe in standing around with somebody in my face doing a lot of talking. I much rather just knock you down and take my chances even if I’m a little girl with skinny arms and a squeaky voice, which is how I got the name Squeaky.

The old man bowed to all of us in the room. Then he removed his hat and gloves, slowly and carefully. Chaplin once did that in a picture, in a bank--he was the janitor.

How to Determine a Thesis
![Page 29: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Goal of AnalysisTo demonstrate some new understanding of
the literary workState this new understanding in the form of
an assertionSupport your analysis with evidence and
commentary.
![Page 30: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What’s an AssertionAn assertion is an
opinion about a general subject, like life, relationships, gender or class that you think the author is making through some element (character, theme, symbol) of the novel
![Page 31: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Think aloud: Finding an assertionI noticed that in Stargirl the main character
Stargirl changesStargirl changes twice during the novel: first
she is an eccentric, free-spirit, later she tries to conform to the behaviors of her peers, but finally she returns to her true individualistic self
![Page 32: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What’s Next?Now make an assertion based on this analysis
of Stargirl:Ask: What new understanding about life,
relationships, gender or class does this present?
Answer: Stargirl doesn’t like this society…she finds it shallow and phony…so she quits it.
![Page 33: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Formula to make an assertion:(author’s name) is making a point about
(general subject); the specific point s/he is making is that _____________________.
Example: In Stargirl, author Jerry Spinelli makes a point about the superficial nature of modern society; the specific point he is making is that society is shallow and does not value individuality and it therefore should be rejected.
![Page 34: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
From Formula to ThesisRevise your assertion statement adding that
the author is using the character(s) to make that specific point
Example: Jerry Spinelli, author of Stargirl, uses the protagonist Stargirl to argue that modern society is superficial and incapable of valuing individuality and should be rejected.
This then becomes the preliminary thesis.
![Page 35: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Let’s try another one:I noticed that in The Pearl, the main
character, Kino, changes.Kino changes during the course of the novel.
First he is a young father and husband who is poor but content. However, after he finds a great pearl, he changes into a ruthless murderer.
![Page 36: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What’s next?Now make an assertion based on this analysis
of Kino.
What new understanding about life, relationships, gender or class does this present? (In other words, why does he change? – this is your analysis.)
Answer: Kino changes because of his greed. He finds out that greed is a destructive force that can ruin one’s life.
![Page 37: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Formula to make an assertion:(author’s name) is making a point about
(general subject); the specific point s/he is making is that _____________________.
Example: Author John Steinbeck makes a point about the destructive nature of greed in man; the specific point he is making is that placing one’s greedy needs over the more important intangible needs of family can destroy a man’s life.
![Page 38: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
From Formula to ThesisRevise your assertion statement adding that
the author is using the character(s) to make that specific point.
Example: Through Kino’s struggles with the pearl, Steinbeck demonstrates that placing one’s greedy needs over the more important intangible needs of family can destroy a man’s life.
![Page 39: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Think Aloud: Character compare/contrastI noticed that Arthur, in Button, Button and
Chris in Hundred Bucks of Happy are similar in that both decide to do the right thing. Both characters are tempted by wealth, but choose to make good, selfless decisions
![Page 40: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
A Formula To Use To Make an AssertionUse the formulaRichard Matheson, author of Button, Button
and Susan Beth Pfeffer, author of A Hundred Bucks of Happy are making a point about self-sacrifice; the specific point they are making is that good people think of others before themselves.
![Page 41: What parts make up a story? Story Grammar Setting Characters Plot Climax Theme Resolution Denouement.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56649c8a5503460f9494355f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Now turn this into a thesis.Revise your assertion statement adding that
the author is using the character to make that specific point.
The authors Matheson and Pfeffer are using their characters of Arthur and Chris to illustrate that to be a good person, one must put the welfare of others above one’s own desires.
