General statements are representations of

broader ideas. The ideas or statements need
further explanation.

Example: Ma’am Lovely is a teacher.

Specific statements, on the other hand, are

representations of supporting details or evidence
related to the general statements.

Passi National High School.

that come straight from the text. It is all about
proving your analysis.

 Evidence is something that you see,

experience, read or told that causes you to
believe that something is true or has really
 happened. It can be found in both fiction texts
such as novels, poems, or short stories.
 Citing is mentioning evidence from a text in
your writing. If you cite something, you quote
it or mention it, especially as an example or
proof of what you are saying.
 Good readers can cite evidence by including a
quotation or exact sentences from the text or
paraphrasing the author’s words or ideas.
