          5 Paragraphs, 8 sentences+ each

          I would do "The Most Dangerous Game" Teachers seem to love that.

              Can you type a good 1 sentence thesis for me about the "Most Dangerous Game" then?

                  Tell them what you're going to tell them.
                  Tell them.
                  Tell them what you told them.

                  That's the proper format for a 5-paragraph essay in most levels of education that assign something that short.

                  As for a thesis. Read the book, develop your own? We can help with content and style, but I don't think anybody ought to be writing the thing for you.

                      Does this sound good:

                      The Republican Sniper is intelligent because he uses diversions, knows when to fall back, and knows hot to get the best of what he has.

                      or:

                      I think Rainsford is intelligent because he knows how to make traps/diversions, follows his instincts, and uses past knowledge to help him.

                          The general form of an introductory paragraph for a 5-paragraph essay on this topic looks something like this:

                          In the book [Name of book], [name of Author] uses the character of [Name of Character] to [Purpose of the Character in the Book]. They do this in three main ways, [Way 1], [Way 2], and [Way 3]. This paper will discuss [The Ways collectively] and [Point of your argument]

                              NEVER PUT YOUR OPINION IN A PAPER!

                              Oh my Jesus.

                              This includes, "I think," "I believe," "My opinion is," and basically anything else with "I" or "my" unless it is an opinion paper. Rather, state your opinion as if it were fact.

                              "Rainsford IS intelligent because etc."

                                  Yeesh, I just went and read that short story...they certainly do mean short when they say that.

                                  I'd much rather write some paper about the extent to which the character of General Zaroff inspired the later character of Kraven the Hunter, or something about how being put into life or death situations can make people act in ways that beforehand they would have vehemantly denied they were capable...there's really not much to write about in that story.

                                      You could always write about how Rainsford becomes a murderer and why.

                                          One of the first rules about making a thesis is it has to be something someone can argue against.

                                          "[Character] is smart" isn't something that can be argued very efficiently.
