Write Your Body Paragraphs

The main goal of the body paragraphs is to prove the thesis statement. Each individual paragraph should focus on a certain aspect of the thesis.

For example:If the thesis of an analytical essay is centred around the evolution of Good Will Hunting, the body paragraphs should each hold their own point; one body paragraph can focus on his diminishing self-guilt, and the second could talk about the ever-increasing support system and its impact on his mentality.

The body paragraphs should maintain a proper structure:

• 
  Topic Sentence: Introduce the main point of the body paragraph in one straightforward and effective sentence.
  
• 
  Analysis: Analyze your supporting evidence. Explain how the evidence supports your thesis statement. This part should take up about one or two sentences and is arguably the most important part of the entire analytical essay writing.
  
• 
  Evidence: The analysis is created from the supporting evidence that you find (facts, statistics, etc.), so they should always go hand in hand. Make sure that these two parts link together in a straightforward manner.
  
• 
  Concluding Sentence: Restate to the reader your analysis and its significance to the point in hand.
  

After reading a single body paragraph, the viewer should have clearly understood the argument or point you were trying to prove. Depending on the topic, each essay’s length will vary based on the depth of the thesis.
