Answer 1

I don't really understand what you are trying to say....but i will give you some tips.



Your INTRODUCTION is always your first paragraph. You are INTRODUCING your topic. The intro is almost always one paragraph. There are special occasions when it can be two paragraphs, but if it is a short paper keep it as one paragraph. Your thesis statement HAS to come in the introduction. The thesis statement tells the readers your stance on a situation (if the paper is persuasive). If the paper is not persuasive it tells the reader what the main idea of your paper is. The paragraphs that follow your introduction MUST support your thesis statement.

Answer 2

The introduction is the first paragraph. The thesis is stated in the introduction, typically as the last sentence. In a five paragraph essay, the introduction is followed by three body paragraphs that support the thesis, and then a concluding paragraph.

Answer 3

Correct, first paragraph intro, a broad sentence to start with.

The thesis is one sentence, describing your point, the last sentence of your introduction

The following paragraphs are the body of your paragraph, your points, also called "proofs", they are not thesis.

Last paragraph is your outro, the last sentence should be broad statement, like your introduction, but upside-down.

Answer 4

nicely the introduction paragraph would desire to be what the essay is approximately, despite if it quite is a few topic in the e book like love, hate or its approximately how a character has grown by way of out the tale. So in the intro you could in simple terms say what the essay is approximately. Yo u would desire to start up it off like this. in the radical The plant existence written by ability of Alice Walker............ The you could pass directly to assert what the essay is approximately. you would be wanting to underline the call of the radical. Then the top could in simple terms be like your opinion on the full ingredient in simple terms giving a rounding off of the essay. i desire this helped =)
