Do you have any recommendations about about how to structure essays for books?Any book recommendation's on how to structure essays? (Grade 10...

First sentence should be a generic statement about the book.  For example: The Giver, by Lois Lowry is a phenomenal novel that explores the positives and negatives of a "Eutopian world."  Then write a sentence about where the book was published, and when it was copyrited.  Then state the genre, and give an example of how the book fits that genre. 

The second paragraph should describe the protagonist and other main characters.  Discuss the protagonist's personality, demeanor, and actions.  State what their relationship is to the protagonist.  Also discuss the antagonist and how he/she/it relates to the protagonist.

The third paragraph should discuss the problem in the story, and 3-4 rising action events. 

The fourth paragraph is the climax paragraph.  Describe the event, but do not state the outcome of the event, as this would ruin the story for your reader of your essay. 

The fifth paragraph is the recommendation paragraph.  State whether you liked or didn't like about the book and why.  (Or state one like and one dislike)  Discuss one thing you might change about the book.  And state who you would recommend the book to, and who you wouldn't. 

And last but not least, is the conclusion paragraph.  State the main idea of the book.  Also, state the theme of the book and give an example of the theme from the book.  Make a final statement of how you felt about the book.
