According to the PIE structure for writing about theme, in this paragraph, the student forgets to provide an explanation of the evidence. While they do include textual evidence and state the theme, they do not elaborate on how the evidence specifically supports the theme of self-confidence, which would strengthen the analysis.
Read the student paragraph about a theme presented in "Raymond's Run."
One theme in this story is self-confidence. Squeaky exhibits self confidence when she runs into the other girls on the street. When Rosie says to Squeaky, "I don’t think you’re going to win this time," Squeaky replies, "I always win 'cause I’m the best." The fact that Squeaky does not get nervous and she stands up to a group of girls shows that she has self confidence.
