Lead paragraph

deserted island is the same as survival on a desert island today witch I find interesting. Except Crusoe had access to firearms. Throughout his time on the island, he relies heavily on a fowling piece (and un-rifled musket designed to use multiple round lead balls, this gave each ball less overall velocity, but it was designed to be used at close ranges similar to a shotgun) this gave him the biggest advantage on the island. I agree with McInally that colonialism and expansion of trade were…

precise. The theme of hard work appears in every paragraph, unequivocally leading him to his death. Sometimes she directly states it, such as in paragraph four where Goodman lists Phil’s work habits while other times, it acts as an underlying motive, such as in lines forty-five through fifty where he neglected his family because of his work. Goodman incorporates business to drive home her point about corporate America in the final three paragraphs. The sentence, “At the funeral, the…

Research Note #2: “The Most Photographed Barn in America” Paragraph A: In this passage extracted from the novel White Noise, the author, Don Dellilo describes Jack and Murray’s visit to a tourist attraction known as the most photographed barn in America to exhibit the significance of perception in addition to humanity’s lack of awareness regarding reification. The first paragraph establishes the scene in a countryside with a “MOST PHOTOGRAPHED BARN IN AMERICA” sign, the presence of animals and…

Finny and Gene’s friendship. Here is a quote I found interesting in the first paragraph and I’ll give a lot more quotes too, “What was I doing up here anyway? Why did I let Finny talk me into stupid things like this? Was he getting some kind of hold over me?” What I thought about this quote was that the notion of equality is very important to Gene and his friendship with Finny. Another quote in the first paragraph was “It’s you pal, Finny said to me at last, just you and me. He and I started…

This information can be found in the first paragraph of the “About Us” website…

developed paper. Three parts necessary to include when writing a paper are the introduction, body paragraph, and closing paragraph. Introduction First, the introduction should consist of three to five sentences. Within these three to five sentences, the writer should provide the reader with what he or she is writing about, the relevancy of the topic, and the audience for the paper. This paragraph should start off with an opening statement, which is the first sentence of the introduction. The…

topic that I could research. Finally, I have at last figured out how to write a fairly effective concluding paragraph. These three improvements have made the writing process a lot smoother, and made my final draft that much better. As I mentioned, the first way my writing has improved over the course of the semester is I realized that I needed to add more imagery and details to my paragraphs. Even though I know what the scene is supposed to look like in my mind, I sometimes forgot that readers…

dean of admissions at Kenyon College and a mother who had to explain to her daughter why she didn 't get accepted. Her opening paragraph implements pathos, using her child 's distress she provokes an emotional response. By doing this she appeals to much more significant audience: parents, peers, and most people who have experienced some sort of rejection. In the first paragraph, her personal narrative begins the use of…

The second fact that caught my eye was that a person can buy another’s debt. I thought that was interesting but not a very smart thing to do. The third thing that piqued my interest was about the company Providian. As I mentioned in the first paragraph, college students are a main target for credit card companies. Me being a freshman in college, I found this enlightening and important. Being raised in the business world, I realize that every company has a role to play in the society and has to…

rhetoric, invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery. Ever since then, I tried to improve on my style and arrangement of writing. When reading The New Jim Crows by Michelle Alexander, I analyzed her style of writing and her arrangement of paragraphs so that I can replicate what she does to effectively address her argument. From her style of writing, I learned that using statistics and giving a real life example of the problem made her argument stronger. My first attempt of this was not…
