Task:
1. Craft a thesis in which you compare a character in your group/independent reading book to another character in a different book, film, television show, play, song, poem, or other text.

An introduction paragraph with:
- Attention grabbing original thought
- Link with titles and authors/directors
- Thesis statement in which you make your comparison
- A topic sentence that introduces a similarity between both works (a similar character, setting, thematic idea)
- A point or example of how this similarity appears in both works (probably two sentences)
- One quote from your book and an illustration from the companion text, this does not have to be a quote (probably two sentences)
- Further explanation of how your quote/illustrations connect to your topic sentence
- Transition into next body paragraph
- Restatement of thesis
- Brief review of one example from each body paragraph
