Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline
Write an essay in which you identify and analyze features of the world Cline creates that seem to be based on conditions and events in our own current world. Are these features too exaggerated to be believable? In what ways can we look more closely at our own world because of the world in Cline’s novel?
Your answers to these questions will help you formulate your thesis for this essay.
As always, your essay needs:
An interesting title that reflects something major in your essay.
A clear, arguable thesis at the end of your first paragraph.
Developed body paragraphs that stay focused on one topic clearly related to the thesis.
Lots of evidence from the book, quotes and paraphrases, that support your claims.
Analysis of quotations.
A conclusion that answers the So What? question and explains the value of reading this novel.
