Sample:
In the short story, "The Lamp At Noon," by Sinclair Ross, a loss of faith eradicates hope and a loss of communication destroys a family.
First Point: Faith is difficult to maintain when the farm fails year after year and the soil erodes before your eyes and springs into your lungs.
First example: As a result, Ellen cannot acknowledge Paul's affinity with the land because he refuses to share it with her. Consequently, the "impenetrable fog" (Ross 109), clearly exemplifies the silence between the alienated couple and Ellen's vast isolation, symbolized by the window she stares through while she waits for Paul, continues to grow.
First explanation: Due to the lack of shared vision for the farm and for their family, both characters live isolated lives which drives the shattered wife to deliriously kill her child. The fact that she loses her way in the dust storm symbolizes her need to leave and her lack of power to do so. Her only way out is to lose her mind.
(YOUR EXPLANATION MAY BE 1 TO 5 SENTENCES DEPENDING UPON YOUR INSIGHT AND HOW COMPLEX THE QUOTATION IS THAT YOU ARE EXPLAINING).
First transition: Similar to a lack of faith, pride also erodes . . . . (a transition can be a word from our sheet or one that you make up based on your thesis)
