This involves making specific reference to the words of the passage [evidence] and understanding the passage in terms of the author’s purpose and all the elements that go into creating the total effect- development of character, plot, theme, style, and structure. You are trying to explain what these various elements do, how they word or why they are effective.

Provide important background information? Does the passage • Introduce a character (directly or indirectly)? • Reveal a character’s personality? • Show characters in conflict? • Reveal a relationship between characters? • Explain the motivation of a character? • Create sympathy (pathos) for a character?
