So your introduction got your reader into the movie theater, but how do you keep them in their seats? To keep your reader interested in your essay, you must build upon the ideas you expressed in your thesis statement. Don't you hate it when a movie preview leads you to think it is about one thing but the actual movie is about something else entirely? Your readers will hate it too! To avoid this, always stick to the points you made in your thesis.
You will develop your points by using your ideas along with information from reliable sources. You will want to find a harmonious balance between your thoughts on the essay topic, and ideas from an expert who has already researched your subject. Don’t forget to include the in-text citations to let your reader know which expert you are quoting or paraphrasing. |
