Remember to include a thesis statement near the end of your introductory paragraph, which should answer an implied question, solve a problem, or resolve a paradox about how the topic affects Mae’s identity.
This is not a book report, so do not summarize the text unless you are providing context for your reader. For this project you must include a Works Cited Page, which should consist of at least one entry: The Circle.
