Draw a vertical line down the page about one third of the way from the left. Then about three-quarters down the page draw a horizontal line from margin to margin.On the left side of the vertical line, write quotations and/or paraphrase of the events in the story.
On the right side of the vertical line, write your commentary, analysis and/or your explanation of the quotation or paraphrase.
Under the horizontal line, write a brief summary of the plot, the theme of the story and/or any other important aspect of the story: setting, characters, etc.
This will provide you with the needed information to write your essay. The quotations and your analysis will provide the bulk of your body paragraphs. You just have to clean them up a bit, put them in fancy grammatical clothes and in the right paragraph format and your essay is half way finished!
