Essays

The introduction should begin with general information and work toward the controlling idea in the thesis statement. Use transitions between paragraphs to achieve unity. The body should include a topic sentence, supports and explanations, quotes, and a concluding sentence. The concluding paragraph should confirm the analysis of the controlling idea. Don’t summarize the plot. Assume the reader knows the story.
