Do not write a summary of the plot of any of your readings. Do not generalize. This is a short essay and not an elaborate project, so choose your topic accordingly. Pay attention to your primary source. Always keep in mind that you need to preserve unity<\/strong> and coherence<\/strong> in your essay. Write complete and coherent sentences. And try to show a sense of transition<\/strong>. I encourage you to use quotations<\/strong>, but don\u2019t quote or paraphrase without a reason. Explicate your quotations. All your sub points should be connected <\/strong>with your main point. Every quotation you cite should be relevant to your main point, and hence should be in support of the sub point for which you are using it. Avoid using clich\u00e9s and words that are vague. Because your aim is to be clear and concise, you have to choose your words well. Be economic with your words but not miserly! Your essay should show your ability to think<\/strong>. When you write keep in mind that you are sharpening your ability to analyze<\/strong>. Do not pass off someone else’s words or ideas as your own. Always acknowledge your source(s). Be sure to provide in-text citation for all your sources and also a “Works Cited” page at the end. Use the MLA style of documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the introduction<\/strong> you should introduce the subject matter and work your way from the motivator<\/strong> to the thesis statement<\/strong>. Be sure to mention the author\u2019s name and the title of the text in the motivator, which is the first part of your introduction. Try to begin your motivator in an interesting way so that your reader is motivated into reading your essay. The first part of the motivator is the broadest part of your essay because you introduce the broad subject first. Your prompt question contains your topic. Then you narrow down the scope so that you can lead your reader to your limited subject. After this you are ready to state a main point (main claim) about your limited subject. This specific point about a specific topic is the thesis statement. The thesis statement is not a question but rather an answer to a significant question. It is a precise point about a limited subject-matter. Hence it should not be a \u201cfact\u201d that is in your text, nor should it be a claim mentioned by somebody else (a secondary source, a character, or narrator). A precise answer to your prompt question is your thesis statement. You arrive at your claim (argument) by way of the author\u2019s suggestions. Your causal or process argument must grow out of a thorough reading of the text and should not be a distortion of the “facts”. Provide the thesis statement by the end of the introduction. Remember that the thesis statement shows significance by answering the “so what<\/strong>” question. If your main point does not answer the \u201cso what\u201d question, it is not a complete thesis statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The body of the essay follows the introduction. All the paragraphs here are called central paragraphs<\/strong>. As the introduction is the \u201cclaim\u201d part of your essay, so the body is the \u201csupport\u201d part of the essay. Here you explain your main point through sub points and supporting evidence (specific support). In short, you show<\/strong> what you tell in the thesis statement. The number of your paragraphs here will depend on the number of sub points you provide to back up your main point. Each of the paragraphs in the body of the essay should explain only one<\/strong> sub point (sub claim) and provide specific support \u2013 examples, where you make use of the “facts” of the text(s)\u2013 for that sub point. You may also make use of statements by authorities or statistics -different kinds of secondary sources- as part of your specific support. Acknowledge your secondary sources and use them relevantly. As each sub point is a part of the main point, it should be clearly connected with the main point. Begin each of these paragraphs with a topic sentence<\/strong>, and then provide the specific support. A topic sentence sums up a sub point. In other words, it provides the point of the paragraph. Develop your sub points logically. Don\u2019t jump from one point to another (or even one sentence to another). Make your sub points flow logically from one to another. That is, don\u2019t move from one point to another without having adequately developed that point, and try for a smooth transition. You should organize your discussion to show a logical growth of thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The last paragraph is the conclusion<\/strong>. In your conclusion you can throw in a clincher<\/strong>. If that doesn\u2019t come, don\u2019t worry. You can summarize your main point and sub points, but don\u2019t repeat the exact words of your introduction. Try to say something that may develop from your main point but don\u2019t say something unconnected or contradictory to what you have established in your essay. You don\u2019t even need to summarize your main point unless you are writing a relatively long essay. Say all you have to say, show all you have to show in connection with your main point in the body of the essay, and the conclusion takes care of itself. So don\u2019t fret over a perfect conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DR JAMIL\u2019S EGL 1010 Fourth Expository Essay Your fourth essay is either an ethical, or a classification, or a resemblance […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
