Body Paragraph (Meaty Paragraph) components:

1. Topic sentence -- introduces that paragraph/that part of your argument
2. Discuss topic
3. Evidence (quote)
4. Explain what quote means/shows -- dissect and analyze the specific language of the quote and the effect it has on the reader
5. Ending sentence -- connects back to the overall argument/thesis


Goal of Conclusion:

2. Leave readers with something interesting to think about in regard to this topic
