Kaayva's So Not Happy Ending Analysis
Meghan Daum, "Kaayva's So Not Happy Ending," http://www.meghandaum.com/2006-la-times-column-archive/63-kaavyas-so-not-happy-ending

In summarizing this article, be sure you focus on what Daum thinks rather than what Viswanathan did. This will let you use signal verbs more gracefully. Be sure you focus on the main ideas. The story of Viswanathan's action is the evidence for the main point or claim or thesis, not the main point itself. If you are unfamiliar with signal phrases, be sure to review pages 556-557 in Everything's an Argument. Pages 567 to 571 provide you with examples of most in text citation formats. Look especially carefully at #1 on page 567, "Author named in a signal phrase." Note that you don't have to use the author's

    In A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers, the audience can see how insecure Dave is about having to take the role of a parent for his little brother, Toph. Throughout the book Dave is constantly thinking about how everyone thinks that Dave shouldn’t be taking care of Christopher or he is an unfit parent. Dave wants to give the very best to Toph but most of the time that isn’t possible. For example, when they were looking for houses people were rejecting them saying the two weren’t the best fit or didn’t think they could pay. One landlord who was sceptical was unsure about Dave’s lack of job and their age. Dave responded “We can pay. We have money. We could pay the year’s rent all at once if you want” (76., which made the…
