“Analyze how the interactions between Hundert and The Bells develop a central idea in The Palace Thief by Ethan Canin.” Introduction
Broad Idea/Hook (Do we ever really know anyone? Do we ever know ourselves? How are our true selves revealed?)

Bridge (Introduce the work and the main character being talked about…”In the novel, The Palace Thief, the Central Idea of Character is explored through the narrator, Hundert, and his interactions with those around him.”

Brief summary (write a short overview of the Character of Hundert so far; literally one or two sentences. You may pull a quote here for effect if you like, but not needed).

THESIS (I have done this for you; when we return from break, you will be expected to create these on your own.)
The exploration of the central idea of Character is developed through Hundert’s interactions with Sedgewick as a student, Senator Bell, and Sedgewick as a man.
