The introductory paragraph is about gathering the readers interest. This paragraph is the most important because this decides if the essay should be read further or not. Make it as attractive and to the point as possible. The thesis statement should be included outlining the entire content of the essay in one or two sentences. A quotation from a famous person can also be used to enhance the reading experience and engage the readers into the content of the essay writing. It should tell the person who go through, what the essay is about. This mini-outline helps establish all the elements present in the essay. Similarly the last lines of the first paragraph should lead the reader on the rest of the essay.

Discussion

Body — First paragraph:

The first body paragraph should be argumentative, have examples and illustrations. The opening lines of the firs body paragraph should be in a continual form with the last line of the first/introductory paragraph.

The topic should represent the thesis statement again and the last line should be transitional to the 2nd paragraph of body to lead the reader on to there.

Body — Second paragraph:

The 2nd paragraph should be composed of the 2nd argumentative narration and supported with examples and illustrations. If there are no examples or illustrations just follow up what was stated in the previous paragraphs. The topic should be discussed in even more detail and similarly this paragraph also ties in with the subsequent paragraph that is the 3rd paragraph of body.

Body — Third paragraph:

This paragraph is different from the previous 2 as it contains the weakest argumentative speech. The topic should again be repeated with help of an example or illustration. This paragraph also serves as closure as it brings about the most prominent point on which the entire essay is based upon. This paragraph should have keywords that related to entire essay and also if possible a reference to the quotation used in the first paragraph. This helps maintain an over all interest and intellect of the essay. This paragraph then leads on to the conclusion of the essay.

Conclusion:

This paragraph should include the following: The conclusion paragraph as the name suggests is the end point of the essay and should be supported yet again with examples and illustrations if possible. The thesis statement should be repeated and the this paragraph must have the essence of all the paragraph before this one. Not only represent but this paragraph should take direct quotes from the previous paragraph to present the argument. The last paragraph is the summary of all the 3 paragraphs before it. personal opinion can also be introduced in this paragraph and to enrich the content of the essay a quotation or a saying can be added for validation and to make the message of the essay stronger and more liable. This paragraph alone has to represent the entire essay. With that a final statement should be given as the verdict to complete the essay with an action or open discussion.
