following guidelines may be used to help you in structuring your

autobiography, etc. ?)
Second Paragraph:
What is the story about? Summarize the content in 75 to 100
words.
Third Paragraph:

dislike. Explain what this character did (or did not do) to cause
you to feel this way. Cite specific references from the text to
support your views.
Fourth Paragraph:
Choose one character from the book who had a choice to make.
Explain what the options were, which one the character chose, and
why you agree or disagree with that choice. Cite specific
references from the text to support your views.
Conclusion:
Discuss briefly:

Why or why not?
Would you recommend the book to others? Why or why not?
What did you learn?
Were you satisfied with the ending? Why? If not, how do you
