All of writing well in English is breaking things up.\n\nThere, I made that one sentence into a paragraph of its own in order to give it emphasis.  One rule about paragraphs: if you want to emphasize, keep them short.  They have more impact.\n\nJust as punctuation breaks up sentences, and with the period breaks paragraphs up into sentences, so the white space between paragraphs creates a division to be used by the author for clarity.  Just as a short paragraph has more impact, a short sentence has more impact.  You know it's true.\n\nWhen you begin a paragraph, you should already know the basic thought it is meant to convey.  Building a paragraph is like building a sandwich.\n\nStart with the "bread" of introduction, which tells what your point will be.  Then put the meat in the middle, where you spice it up with facts and examples to illustrate your point.  Finally, summarize or "cover" it with another piece of "bread," in the form of the punch line or "kicker."  \n\nBuilding a paragraph is like building a sandwich.

Well, it's mainly a paragraph with around 2/3 sentences. What the focus is to wrap up all what u said in the previous areas and provide a strong argument or opinion in the last sentence.

I'm glad you asked. 1) While you read - you should be maintaining an outline of the facts on each chapter. 2) Make note of characters, characterization (little tidbits the author reveals, and the ones you find as you read) 3) Construct a story map and note how the story moves from the exposition-to the rising action-climax-falling action and then resolution. 4) Note what your thoughts are about each character, and how they relate.  After your review your outline, go back and read it. Now you should be able to draw an intro statement based on a number of things you have discovered about the storyline, characters, plot, theme, etc.  One or two items should stick out.  For example- if the protagonist (main character) is driving the story, then trace how he/she does that and how they effect the outcome.  A good summary to me is the student who evaluates many sides of the story from different perspectives. Make it brief, you don't want to reveal "all of the good stuff", but as the reader and writer - your outline should have more information so that if you need to return and do more essay writing, you have the facts with you. Good luck to you.  I love questions like these.  It challenges me as an English teacher.  You are welcome to email me directly if you have any further questions.

So I said to the guy, "Here's what you have to do." \n\nAnd he responded, "What! Just tell me!?" \n\n"You have to start a new paragraph each time a different person speaks," I said. "Start each thing a person says with quotation marks, and end it with proper punctuation." \n\n"What's proper punctuation in this case?" he asked. \n\n"Well," said I, "it's a period or question mark at the end of a quotation if the sentence ends with the quotation or a comma if the sentence continues with more text." \n\n"Follow these rules," she bragged, "and use my writing as an example. I have been writing professionally for 20 years and guarantee that this is all accurate."

Think of a paragraph as a sandwich with different kinds of bread on each end.  If the white bread starts the paragraph, then the lettuce, bologna, tomato and wheat bread follow.  The wheat bread is different from the white bread because it is a transition to the next sandwich starting with the latter.  This idea may help him visualize the paragraph and you can even cut out papers in shapes and he can write sentences and stack them -- that might make him laugh.  A bunch of "sandwiches" can equal an essay.  Good luck.

It means write in properly constructed sentences and paragraphs. Don't set out your answer as a series of bullet points.

Your teacher is asking for an expository paper -- one that explains. These are pretty forumlaic. Imagine that you are talking to an alien who knows nothing about writing. Start by telling them what it is, then tell them how you use it, why it's important, and where you might see writing used. If you write an introduction (what the paper is about), and a couple of good 3-4 sentence paragraphs about each of these things, you'll have two pages.\n\nHere's some help: www.stanford.edu/~arnetha/expowrite/info.html .\n\nGood luck,\n~Tia~\nLive from the big, purple brain\nhttp://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html\nASK YOUR QUESTIONS, CALL THE BRAIN - 212-382-3592

The earliest event/incident should be put in your 1st paragraph - preferably with the date, and year of the event in its beginning. Just for an example :\n'10 February 2006 : Alice decided that Victor must be taught to behave himself in public. She felt that at this rate, he would grow up into a very obstinate boy. She would also ask his class teacher to help.'\nor\n'It was on a Friday that Alice first decided that Victor must be taught to behave himself in public. She felt that at this rate, he would grow up into a very obstinate boy.Deciding that she would also ask his class teacher to help, she glanced at the calender, which read 10 February 2006.'   \n...Each one of the subsequent events/incidents should then follow as separate paragraphs. Example : \n'13 February 2006 : Alice felt surprised with herself, for sounding so very strict !"Vickie, you are not going out with Harry, until you clean-up your bed ! Why ? Because mummy says so!"' \n[When you work the date, time, place etc., into the sentences themselves, it will definitely make your article or feature sound more reader-friendly !]   \nAs for para-formatting : No eminently 'readable' paragraph should be more than 3 sentences long - and no sentence should have more than 12 words. It has been proved by worldwide studies that simple sentences written in the active voice, are best for getting any message/fact across.

ANSWER THE QUESTION DIRECTLY.  This will be your thesis, and it will be presented as one of the last sentence in your intro (in almost all cases).  The beginning of the intro should have backround info that is relevant to the rest of your paper.  \n\nIn each body paragraph, address one part of your thesis (break down your thesis into smaller parts, and prove each one of them in a separate body paragraph).  Prove them using facts, quotes (if you are doing an essay on a book), or sometimes personal beliefs.  Now, use your own interpretation to tie these facts to your thesis i.e., tell the reader how they prove it (or how they prove the parts of the thesis for that body paragraph).\n\nIn your conclusion, summarize what you said, including your thesis, and leave the reader with food for thought.

I have a couple grammar suggestions for you:\n\n- I'm not sure if this happened because of Yahoo or if you typed it in this way, but you should only have capital letters at the beginning of a sentence or for proper nouns (like for a person's name, or for a place name like "Paris", or for a product name like "Colgate").\n\n- Also, punctuation is VERY important.  If you don't clearly punctuate your writing, it is hard to understand.  For example, make sure that you have periods at the end of each of your sentences so that readers will know where one thought starts and another thought begins.\n\nIn terms of the clarity of this paragrpah, I here are my thoughts:\n\n- Figure out what the main thing that you're trying to say in this paragraph is, and make sure to state that CLEARLY in your first sentence.  This helps the reader to know what to expect to read in the paragraph.  Based on what you're writtetn, in sounds like your main point is something about how advertising, especially TV advertising, has the potential to influence people's behavior.  I would use the next few sentences to explain, generally, how television advertisements have the potential to influence people (I would do this by explaining how advertising companies target certain ads to certain audiences during certain programs, etc).  I would then say "For example..." and use your example of the Colgate commercial having the potential to influence a child to behave like the child he or she saw in the commerical.  I would then suggest that you have a sentence at the end of your paragrpah that conlcudes your ideas and helps to prepare the reader for what he/she will read in your next paragraph (if there is one).\n\nHope this helps!!

I've looked at your links.  \n\nI'd recommend you work on your format and delivery.  It is just too much work to try to sort through it all and figure out just who did what to whom, and why.  Your pages are packed with your feelings about what happened, but there's not a lot of detail about what that was. \n\nWhy not find a writer to try to turn it into a novel?  If you did that, someone might actually be able to understand what you're talking about without deciding to devote a number of hours to deciphering paragraphs that seem to be written with the presumption that the reader knows who any of these people are in the first place. \n\nI mean that in the nicest way.  Obviously you want the world to understand, but the fact is that your links don't further that objective.
