Introduction I began to write this book during my first semester of Junior year for my Honors Literature class. As time went by I began to realize that I was actually having fun writing a book, where I would think it would be boring. This class is different from any other English class I have taken before due to the way how other English classes make us write a book. I was able to create a book in a way that I have never done before. The topic I chose to write my book about is Anime. Anime is something people watch for entertainment, stress relief, affection, life lessons, etc. Anime is also the most entertaining, fast-paced, Provoking storylines and interesting. People can also come together and relate to Anime stories in a lot of unexpected ways, since there is so much to choose from. The culture is amazing, everything from Cosplayers to Funko pops and Animecons. I am glad to have found out about Anime from others and definitely will continue to respect it. I hope you like my book!
About the Author My name is Tasin Rahman. I was originally born in Bangladesh and later moved to Los Angeles in 2016. I was raised in a city called ¨Khulna¨ in Bangladesh, it was pretty small but I enjoyed my time there. I am an only child and I used to go to an English School where I learnt to speak English and Write. Over there in Bangladesh they call English schools ¨English-Medium Schools¨. I was one of few who went to this type of school, however I did not learn anything useful at the time I was there since I was only in 2nd grade. In 2016 I moved to Los Angeles, California. I was forced to skip 3rd and 4th grade due to my age, so I had to start right from 5th grade in elementary school. I learned to write my first essay from my English tutor at my tutoring place. At first it was easy to understand but it got harder over time. As soon as I went on to 6th grade I realized that the essays I have been writing were way easier than the ones the teacher assigned for homework. I thank my tutor the most for teaching me how to write a proper essay, without my tutor I don’t think I could’ve written good essays.

Paragraphs PARAGRAPHS Paragraphs – a group of sentences that together convey a shared purpose structured around the same topic. Introductory Paragraphs (Introductions) Hook (Lead / Opening Statement) – can begin with the title Anecdotal (Brief story to set the mood and lead the reader into the topic) Naruto, invented by Japanese manga writer Masashi Kishimoto. The story talks about a ninja called Naruto who wants to achieve universal acceptance and become the Hokage, which is the position of the head of his village and the strongest ninja. The main character of this story is Naruto, a young kid who is noisy, reckless who wants to become the Hokage but is rejected by everyone because he has a great evil demon sealed inside him named “The Nine Tails or Kurama ''. Query Based (Question that brings the reader to the topic - avoid second person POV “you”) Why would Naruto be hated just because he has a demon inside of him? Thesis Statements (the purpose of a piece of writing – usually one sentence in length, but can be longer depending on the purpose – must be something that is arguable) Anime, a cinematic genre that is a fast growing trend in the west and can now possibly be considered the most popular among children and a lot of Adults and Teenagers. Assertion (claim - a subject + a “so what” about the subject) Naruto Is not evil, he is just unlucky to be born with a demon sealed inside him. Fact (empirically verifiable but often difficult to argue extensively about - better used as evidence to support a claim) Naruto has no parents. Opinion (personal position on a topic) The entire series of Naruto was very long.
Belief (social, religious, or political in nature – an opinion held by many to be a fact, though it is not necessarily factual – often involves a judgment) The series would be better if there were less filler episodes.
Generalization (uses absolute or statistical pronouns: all, always, every, never, none, most, half – avoid using this type of thesis statement unless citing the source of the data) Everyone always talks about the series “Naruto”. Document Based (cites a specific source, author, and position on a topic) Naruto is a great series that provides a lot of social and psychological benefits to its viewers. The main character Naruto always has this saying” I won’t run away anymore… I won’t go back on my word… that is my ninja way”. This can be used in our daily lives because this quote is telling us to not give up and teaches people to not run away from their fear and face it even if it seems impossible everything can be done if the work is put into it. The series also shows us to never give up on our dreams even if people judge you for it, believe in yourself and not what others say.
Theory (a statement that can be tested and potentially proven - often answers a research question) The animation artists get paid way less than they should actually be getting paid.
Clarification/Expansion of Thesis (could extend the thesis, preview the evidence supporting the thesis, give the purpose of thesis, establish the importance or significance of examining the intricacies of the thesis – this could be several sentences long) Tv usually succeeds as a primary activity to do afterschool for most teens or children. A lot of those kids watched TV as soon as they got home and a lot of those kids remembered shows like “Dragon Ball Z”. Hugely important in terms of teaching them certain values [and] giving them something to look forward to at the end of a stressful or a bad school day. Remembering these shows kids tend to look for more shows that are similar to the ones they remember and get more interested.
Paragraphs Continued...
quote/evidence and transitioning to your analysis of the quote) They all have their unique way of deferring from each other. The states have at their disposal hidden villages, which are ninja settlements, headed by an independent ruler, Kage which resembles a lot to the Hokage. Abstract Examples (hypothetical, “what if” examples that do not refer to a source – AVOID USING THEM AS EVIDENCE – but useful for examining the quote) If there were no hokage then there would be conflict amongst every village. Concrete Examples (actual examples that do refer to a source – useful for enhancing your analysis of the quote) Can’t apply here Closing Sentences (must end the discussion of the topic within the paragraph with a transitional or culminating word – possibly an adverb – and should echo the thesis of the essay) These demons are also sealed for their power, and villages use them as a way to protect themselves from enemies or even attack other villages that they are at war with.
Closing Paragraphs (Conclusions – should not be mere summaries of the previous paragraphs of your essay) Consequences of Disregarding the Thesis (establishing the potential consequences of disregarding the implications of the thesis – CREATING A COUNTERARGUMENT – could be one or more sentences) This story brings hope to people because it tells them no matter how hard life is, you must not give up. Thrive forward with your hard work irrespective of the outcomes you expect just work hard and everything will be alright. Statement(s) of Extension (extending the consequences of disregarding the implications of the thesis – could be one or more sentences) In conclusion, the series of Naruto shows us that many supernatural beings are seen as demons. It also shows how like in different beliefs demons are the worst things you can get because they lead to destruction. Reestablishing the Significance of the Thesis (could be one or more sentences) It also shows us how in the series the ninja don't see the demons as creatures you can worship but only as weapons of destruction. Final Sentence (closing statement that connects to the hook and finishes the essay (finish your argument) – the “Smokey the Bear”/”Drop the mic”/dot dot dot moment…) In the end, the major characters show us that if you fight the evil inside you that tells you you can't do anything, make peace with it, and tell yourself you can, you can achieve greatness by putting in the effort.

Strategies/Planning Tips/Steps – Pre-writing/Prompt Analysis/Outlining Well there are many ways to strategize before you begin writing an essay. One strategy to use would be to break down the prompt into pieces and analyze, like for instance find out what the prompt is asking you to do. Analyze the prompt to find the key words and phrases, and details that clarify the task. After I am done breaking down the prompt I would start thinking about what to write for my Introduction. I would figure out what I am going to write for my introduction and then decide what my hook is going to be so my reader would be interested to continue reading. I would also do some research on my topic so I can have an easier time writing. This also helps me organize my material. Researching/Evaluating of Sources To identify if a source is credible or not you should check how many views the article has (If shown) or see who the author is and check if they have any other articles they wrote. The website can also be really important since some are popular while some are fishy. You can also check for accuracy by using other articles and comparing it to the source you are going to use.
