Writing: Body Paragraph and Example

Scroll down for thesis help.

This one's just for body paragraphs!

Remember, your essay should be:

• Introduction w/ thesis
• body paragraph (explaining an example which proves your thesis)
• body paragraph (explaining an example which proves your thesis) <---IF YOU HAVE ROOM FOR A SECOND BODY PARAGRAPH!
• Conclusion

These are the things your body paragraph should have.

Your example needs to be as specific as possible. Don't tell me about a game or a team, tell me about a specific player or a specific team. Don't tell me about people, be more specific than that.

Your example should be a real example. Don't make something up, and don't use hypothetical statements.

A hypothetical statement sounds like:
"Well, if you were building a house, you'd need help. You couldn't build it on your own."
"Without teamwork, the vaccine would have never been invented." (This is also a logical fallacy.)

Your example can come from high-quality literature (even high-quality classic movies are okay if you can write about them intelligently and with detail), current events, history, and the world of science and technology.
