INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Include the title and author of the main works you deal with, as well as your thesis. The goal is to clearly define the issues your essay will deal with. Don't write something vague like "This story deals with the problems of human civilization." Be specific: "By the end of the story, Rainsford becomes another Zargoff, another civilized murderer. He has adopted his adversary's brutal attitudes so easily that we are led to question civilization's claim to control human aggression." If the text is one that the entire class has read, you will not need to summarize it. However, if it is one that your reader might not be familiar with, you will need to give a brief (one paragraph) summary. Be careful that you do not spend too much time on summary, however. If you have more summary than analysis, your paper won't show your ideas about the text. If you are discussing a particular aspect of the work characters, plot, style, etc. you will want to begin with a representative example of the literary device you will analyze. Each paragraph will provide evidence to support the claim made in your thesis, as well as analysis of that evidence. You will also want to anticipate counter-arguments. A good essay will include: Evidence Examples from the text under discussion that support your thesis. Warrant An explanation of how the evidence supports your thesis. Backing Additional reasoning that may be necessary to support the warrant. Counterclaims Anticipate arguments that disagree with your thesis. Rebuttal Evidence and argumentation put forward by you that negates the counterclaim you introduced. Start by considering what you want your readers to take away from your paper. However, a good conclusion will not simply restate the thesis. It will go on to discuss why it is important, to speculate on its broader implications (i.e. is it true for a genre or period as a whole?) or to provide suggestions on how it might be pursued further.

SUMMARY: Start with an introductory paragraph. Summarize the text if necessary. Give an example of the topic you will be analyzing. Explore and support your thesis in the following paragraphs. Conclude by moving beyond your thesis.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before attempting to perform magic, you need to get into the right frame of both body and mind and cleanse away any doubts, demons or spiritual impurities that might distract you or make the spell go awry. Ideally purifying yourself should be a ritual in and of itself, and should leave your body relaxed and your mind nuclear. Bathe. Take a long bath, getting your skin completely clean and soaking the tension of our your muscles. Dress appropriately. If you have robes or other special garb for doing magic, put that on. Otherwise pick simple but formal clothes that feel light, comfortable and clean. You are asking the divine forces for a favor, so try to dress with a certain amount of reverence. If there won't be anyone around, some wiccans swear by performing magic in the nude. Meditate until your mind is clear. Do some basic deep breathing to improve your focus and discard distracting desires. Anoint yourself with the proper oils. Different essential oils can be used for different purposes, so if you like find one or more that seem appropriate and dab a little with your fingers on your forehead, and perhaps your hands, hair, face and chest as well. If you are going to be working inside, make sure you won't be disturbed and tidy up the location where you intend to perform your spell. Visualize negative and distracting energies dispersing as you clean. When the space is clean physically, purify it spiritually by burning some incense, sprinkling some salt water or holy water, or playing a few clear notes on a musical instrument. You need a consecrated space to perform your ritual. This can be either a circle to protect you from the interference of negative spirits and energies, an altar to focus your dedication to a specific deity or element, or some combination of these two. You will perform your ritual within the circle or in front of the altar. Draw a circle big enough to sit in, or a five-pointed-star within a circle (called a pentacle). You can draw it physically or just trace it in the air with your finger or a wand. Visualize protective energy coming out of your arm as you draw, sealing off the circle from in a bubble of light. You can mark the cardinal points on the circle or the points of the star with candles, stones, or some other set of significant objects. Create a small raised platform on which to place a figurine of a deity or some other symbolic representation of the divine. It doesn't have to be complicated: a stack of books will do, if you treat it reverently. Consider adding candles, crystals, an incense stand, or a couple objects close to you spiritually, such as a small heirloom or your book of spells. Verbally call on a higher power to bless your spell. This can be a general prayer to call on the help of some deity or force, or something specific you wrote for this spell. Your invocation can also include gestures, music, dance, or ritually lighting candles or placing objects. Visualize the object of your spell and imagine light flowing from you into it. Visualize your wish coming true. The more vividly you can see these energies in your mind's eye, the realer they will be. For each spell, write a short verse describing your wish and asking it to be granted. It doesn't have to rhyme, but rhymes, alliteration, cadence and other poetic structures help with focus and memorization. Speak the incantation clearly and confidently while you visualize. A good spell should have some element of "casting off" an item to represent your will going out into the universe. Tear or burn a piece of paper with your wish (or a symbol representing your wish) written on it; toss away a stone or symbolic object; snuff out a candle; or pouring out or drinking a potion. Say thank you to any specific deity you invoked. Ground your excess energy by visualizing it flowing into the earth. Undraw your circle, if necessary, and dismantle your altar if you aren't going to use it again. Gather up your tools and leave the space. Your spell is finished. Consider doing something mundane, like having something to eat, to center yourself.
Summary: Purify yourself before any spell. Purify your space. Setup a circle or altar. Invoke the divine. Focus your energy on your desire. Recite your incantation. Seal the deal. Give thanks and clean up.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stir the puree occasionally with a large spoon that won't be stained by the tomato paste. Cook the soup for an additional five minutes. Add salt and pepper in small increments until it has the taste that you wish.

SUMMARY:
Place the onion, garlic cloves, coconut oil and tomato paste into either a blender or a food processor. Puree the mixture until it is smooth. Pour the puree into a large saucepan and heat it over medium-high heat until it boils. Lower the heat to medium and cook the puree for 1 or 2 minutes until it is heated through. Stir in the thyme, vegetable broth and pureed tomatoes. Cook the soup until it has heated through, which should take about 3 minutes. Add the Coconut Dream and coconut milk creamer, stirring to combine. Taste the soup. Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Drizzle a little olive oil over the soup. Top the soup with the homemade croutons or serve it with a slice of toasted bread.
