Oh Rapunzel, let down your hair! (you coming blondie?)
Now it’s time to leave your tower to explore the world of body paragraphs! This is the most important part as it makes up the bulk of your essays. Call it a journey to the floating lights!
Tip: For all body paragraphs of the three types of essays, you have to cite your sources/evidence. You can do that by putting quotation marks or citing the author or source’s name somewhere in the body paragraph.
Body paragraphs for Rhetorical Analysis:
Body paragraph 1 and 2 should include a topic sentence followed by a piece of evidence, in this case, a cited quote. After inserting the piece of evidence, you should explain what rhetorical strategy or technique the author uses in that specific example.…show more content… While Mccandless himself does have some flaws, it’s blasphemous to say that he doesn't have any transcendentalist attributes. Throughout the whole book, Mccandless’ words and actions can clearly show that he does indeed have transcendentalism inside him. One of the main and obvious examples is how Mccandless decided to leave his home for a journey to Alaska. “Two years he walks the earth, no phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road.” This clearly shows that Mccandless embodies transcendentalism because one of transcendentalism’s major beliefs is on anti-materialism, as seen in “no phone, pool, pets, and cigarettes,” and on departure from society, as seen in “whose home is the road.”
Body paragraphs for Synthesis:
Body paragraphs 1 and 2 should include a topic sentence followed by the position you are taking. Your body paragraphs should be supporting your position and should include quotations or evidence from the given sources you read. This will allow your claim to be more credible.
