Develop a thesis that analyzes the insidious forces that cause decent people to suffer from "evil creep," the process whereby relatively normal, nice people succumb to evil gradually, incrementally, insidiously until they reach a Point of No Return, languishing in the abyss of evil and depravity. Successful essays will compare the characters' descent into evil by comparing their journeys to students' personal experiences, film, other works of literature, etc.
First paragraph: Introduction.
Second paragraph: Thesis with 4 or 5 mapping components.
Paragraphs 3-9: Elaborate on your mapping components.
Conclusion: Restate your thesis.
Last page: Works Cited page with no fewer than 3 sources.
Notes to myself:
You might talk about "Winter Dreams" and the lost passage of time as one becomes absorbed by the parallel universe, the chimera. And in this universe one is not aware of the gradual changes taking place.
