11 answers
RESTATE CLAIM/THESIS: In Shadow and Bone, the theme of power and sacrifice is explored through the protagonist Alina Starkov's journey.
SUMMARIZE/PARAPHRASE REASONS: Throughout the novel, Alina's struggles with her newfound power, the sacrifices she makes for the greater good, and the consequences of her decisions all contribute to the overarching theme of power and sacrifice in the story.
Overall, Shadow and Bone effectively delves into the complexities of power and sacrifice, providing readers with a thought-provoking narrative that challenges traditional notions of heroism.
Lastly, her growth through finally accepting her powers is an important part of “Shadow And Bone”.
I am not done with this. I will give you these quotes though: “I’m so sorry I left you so long in the dark.
I’m sorry but I’m ready now."
"I called and the light answered.
'My power slid back into my hands. Once more, I stood in Baghra’s hut, calling the light for the first time, feeling it rush toward me, taking possession of what was rightfully mine. This was what I had been born for. I would never let anyone separate me from it again."”
You put it into a paragraph and elaborate on it
EVIDENCE 1: "I’m so sorry I left you so long in the dark. I’m sorry but I’m ready now."
EVIDENCE 2: "My power slid back into my hands. Once more, I stood in Baghra’s hut, calling the light for the first time, feeling it rush toward me, taking possession of what was rightfully mine. This was what I had been born for. I would never let anyone separate me from it again."
ELABORATION: Throughout the novel, Alina struggles to come to terms with her unique abilities and the responsibility that comes with them. These quotes exemplify her journey of self-acceptance and empowerment. Alina's realization of her true potential and her determination to never again deny herself the power within her signifies a pivotal moment in her character development. By embracing her powers, Alina not only grows stronger but also comes to understand herself on a deeper level, setting the stage for her continued growth and the challenges she must face in the future.
This is an idea of what your supposed to do:
Body Paragraph 3: TPEEEE
REASON 3: (Start with a transition, then state third point/reason from above)

You already know what the transition and quotes are. The only thing thats missing are the elaborations.
Make it into a normal paragraph
Alina's growth through finally accepting her powers is an important part of "Shadow and Bone." In the moment where she acknowledges, "I’m so sorry I left you so long in the dark. I’m sorry but I’m ready now," she signifies her realization of the necessity to come to terms with her abilities. This acknowledgement marks a significant step in her character development as she moves towards embracing her true power. Furthermore, as she recalls the sensation of calling forth the light and feeling it rush towards her, as depicted by her words, "My power slid back into my hands... This was what I had been born for. I would never let anyone separate me from it again," she experiences a profound connection to her innate abilities. This moment of empowerment and self-realization solidifies Alina's resolve never to be separated from her powers again. This acceptance not only signifies a crucial turning point in Alina's journey but also sets the stage for her to fully embrace her destiny and navigate the challenges that lie ahead.
This quote appears in a section of narration in Chapter 22, just after Alina realizes the Darkling no longer has power over her. Following a tumultuous scene on the Darkling’s sandskiff, Alina understands that she has just as much control over the amplifier as the Darkling because she spared the stag’s life. In so doing, Alina quite literally takes full possession of her power, wrenching it back from the Darkling’s clutches. While the quote is referencing her power in particular, Alina’s vow that she would never let anyone separate her from it again also speaks to her conviction to retain control over her life. Whereas much of her life had been shaped by the way other people controlled her up until this point, Alina commits to a future where she is at the helm of her own existence.
