Paragraphs:
Introduction
The paragraph is the basic unit of meaning in a piece of
writing. A paragraph takes an idea and gives it substance and form. Depending
on the writer's purpose, that substance may involve analysis, description,
illustration, definition, or some other way of furthering a discussion
or argument. In order to emphasize its point, the paragraph may be constructed
according to a particular pattern. Ordering and connecting ideas and sentences
in a paragraph is essential for a coherent discussion of a topic. And,
not the least, a paragraph breaks your essay into manageable, digestible
chunks for the reader.
