-When writing your essay, the goal is to demonstrate what spin the play has on one or two particular themes. Be specific about the ways the theme of alienation and otherness through gender roles is used and how the play’s use of time period, character, dialogue, and setting develop a deeper meaning to the theme. Provide details, including cited direct quotes from the play. Don’t forget that you must comment on the quotes you use to explain why they are significant.
-The MEAL Plan

Main Point:  this is the first sentence of your paragraph, also called the topic sentence.  In text-based writing, this first sentence argues and begins to “serve up” your essay’s claim (thesis).  Each argumentative topic sentence in each paragraph you craft connects back to the claim in some way. Since the topic sentence of any paragraph dictates the subject of the paragraph, making sure that this first sentence is argumentative gives you, the writer, permission to argue instead of summarize.

Evidence:  this documented sentence or series of sentences offers up specific evidence that backs up the main, argumentative point.  You may quote from the text at hand or you may find yourself referring to a genre-specific tool (camera angles for film, metaphor for poetry, narrative structure for fiction, etc.) or specific example in this part of the paragraph.  Remember that plot is not evidence. Rather, evidence is a piece of the text or a specific idea about the text, a “select bite,” that offers up a clear example to support your ideas.

Analysis:  this is the largest portion of the paragraph, the part in which you explain “how” and “why” the evidence supports the main point.  This is the “meat” of The MEAL, and it requires that you carefully consider your audience’s “appetite” and the stated goals of your essay.  You may find yourself focusing in on words in the quoted evidence to perform a close reading, or you may offer discussion about context as you analyze, broadening out before focusing back in to make a salient point
