Answer:

Paragraph Structure

Paragraphs

The manner in which your essay presents material is vital. As you know, an essay (or any academic text) is built up around paragraphs. These help the reader understand the organization of your essay and grasp its main points. A paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and coherent, and are all related to a single topic. The main rule is:

One paragraph = one new point in your argument

Explanation:

Each paragraph typically contains a three-part structure:

1. Introduction: includes a topic sentence and transition words

2. Body: discusses the topic, using various forms of evidence

3. Conclusion: comments and draws connections

Paragraph Principles

A small paragraph of text receding into the left of the image. White and yellow font against a dark background.Each paragraph should contain one new point related to the essay’s overall thesis.

Each paragraph should be able to stand on its own and have its own internal structure.

Each paragraph should state its purpose, in the form of a topic sentence.

Try extracting the first line from your essay paragraphs and see if you can follow your main line of argument. If you can’t, they your essay is not so easy to follow as you might want it to be. (Of course, not every argument has to be organized this way. But try to look up a few articles in some “serious” newspapers: you will find this structure widely used!)

The reason why paragraphs should be “headlined” with reference to the overall argument is to keep that argument in the reader’s mind, thereby making it easier for them to see the relevance of the rest of the paragraph. This way, the reader doesn’t lose track, and neither do you as you write.

Connecting Paragraphs Together

Ideally, paragraphs should be well connected to each other. Order paragraphs so that each one follows logically from the previous one. To make this logic more obvious, you can use transition words (or “connectors”), so that the paragraphs flow better and the reader is always kept on track.

As the author, you know why one paragraph relates to the next, because you’ve put a lot of effort, research, and thought into the planning of this document. Your reader isn’t as well-versed in the subject as you are, however. Adding transition words and phrases helps cue your reader into the connections between ideas you’ve already made for yourself.

Choose one poetic element that Dickinson uses in either "This is my letter to the world", or "Because I would not stop for Death
Pavel [41]

In both poems, the poetic element that stood out to me the most is the use of personification.

In "This Is My Letter To The World," nature is personified as being able to speak, "The simple news that Nature told"(3) Dickinson states that she cannot see what was told, but asks that the countrymen do not judge her regardless.

In "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" she applies personification to death, who appears to be the driver of a carriage, arriving to take the speaker into the afterlife.

"Because I could not stop for Death -

He kindly stopped for me -" (1-2)

Dickinson's speaker is describing her experience with death. In the opening stanza, she was too busy for death - but Death had enough time for her - and was civil enough to stop .

"We slowly drove – He knew no haste

And I had put away

My labor and my leisure too,

For His Civility –"

Death's "civility" caused her to drop everything that occupied her time before his visit, and she enjoyed the carriage ride instead.

the major ideas of the Enlightenment

If my teacher describes an author as writing during the Enlightenment, the following topics would be useful to research to understand the significance of this fact:

1. when the Enlightenment period occurred

2. the major ideas of the Enlightenment

3. the social and political contexts of the Enlightenment.

These would be important to understand what the Enlightenment period was all about and what was expected of writers during that period and what was taboo during that period. Also, finding out when this period occurred would help understand the author's writings better.
