This is a book report on Noa Tishby’s Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth. there is an outline and a final report. I have attached examples and guidelines to the post. I have also completed half of the outline, which I will attach below. Please just finish the outline per what I have already done, and do the final draft in addition to that. If there are any questions at all, please do not hesitate to reach out.
FORM
Each book review will be approximately 1,000-1,500 words long. The main objective of this analytical book review should be to comprehensively cover the three sections of the following book review outline:
PART I
This is a brief outline of the contents of the book. In the space of one or two paragraphs you should be able to convey the parameters of the book’s contents. DO NOT simply reproduce the book’s table of contents.
PART II
Here is the place for a careful summary of the author’s thesis. The thesis is the primary idea the author is trying to prove and convince the reader to accept. You must first identify the thesis and then show how the author either substantiates or fails to substantiate this thesis. This will undoubtedly take you a page or two to do a good job.
PART III
This is the most important part of your book review. Here is where you describe your reaction to the book. Some of the questions you must answer include: Do you agree or disagree with the book’s conclusions? Why? Did the book support or contradict what you read in your textbook on the same subject? (You MUST quote some of the relevant passages from both books.) Did you detect any biases on the part of the author? What was the author’s background and why did he or she write the book? How in your opinion could the book have been improved? You must be specific and keep in mind there are NO perfect books. Did you enjoy reading the book? Why or why not? Would you recommend it to others?

I. Introduction
Use the Introduction to: introduce your subject, provide some background, and offer a dynamic thesis.
[NOTE: In each and every sentence of the outline and final draft be sure to:
Explain ‘who’ did ‘what’ and ‘why.’ Begin your paragraph with a dynamic topic sentence that tells the reader who did what in the paragraph and why it matters. When you tell your reader what you are going to talk about, you describe. When you explain ‘who’ did ‘what’ and ‘why’ it matters, now you analyze. So be sure to start your paragraph with a topic sentence that identifies the key historical actor or actors, explains what they did, and why.
