Textual Analysis Essay on the movie Harold and Maude link to movie  – https://lookmovie.ag/movies/view/harold-and-maude-1971

Three to Six pages in MLA Format

Dont write what you think you ought to say; instead, write what you see and what you feel.  Read a story and find the central message.  The message should not be a clich nor anything that you have heard before.  The message should be fresh and non-obvious.  To find an interesting message, you must read between the lines and find a subtext.  In the subtext is the wisdom.       

Make the message your thesis statement.

For example, Dr. Seusss Green Eggs and Ham shows that a narrow-minded attitude turns one into a life-hating curmudgeon, but when one tries something new with someone new, for the sake of trying something, one turns into a cosmopolitan with a newfound zeal for life and a variety of experiences.  You can call the essay, From Fool to Foody: Finding the Spice of Life in Green Eggs and Ham.

Organization

Your first paragraph should be devoted to explaining your thesis statement.  Can you explain what you mean by your claim in different ways?  Do what you can to clarify the thesis statement as if you were talking to a neighbor or a friend.  Do not write sweeping generalizations like People have always had an aversion to unusual food.  Sweeping generalizations always fall under one of two categories: the obviously right and the obviously wrong.  Dont state the obvious like All people eat food.         

Your body paragraphs should be a series of subclaims (topic sentences) which are supported with evidence and analysis.  Each paragraph should look as follows:       

Your last paragraph should notnotrestate the thesis statement and the major points.  I said dont restate your thesis statement and the three major points.  If you restate your thesis statement et cetera, you will bore the reader to tears and lose points.  A conclusion should be, ideally, an emphatic statement in which the reader has been prepared.  Dont write in conclusion.
