The Basic Structure: The Body |
||||||||||||||
|
The body of an essay is made up of several paragraphs. The introduction and the conclusion paragraphs are not among these paragraphs but rather flank them. These body paragraphs explain the topic of an essay and all ideas that are listed in the outline. These paragraphs reveal all examples and illustrations to support what was stated in the first paragraph or introduction. Let us take an example of a short essay that has three body paragraphs and see what would ideally constitute each one of these.
Did you know that the structure of a body paragraph is similar to that of an essay? That is, they both have an introduction, a body and a conclusion. Do not worry, we shall review these similarities after looking at the structure of a paragraph in the next unit. |
