5 Part Paragraphs

     During the readings for the 5 part paragraphs, there was a huge distinction between the paragraphs that were organized, unique, clear, and had everything that the format had required, verses the paragraphs that lacked those things. Without even one of the items from the checklist, the reader would tell that it did not flow as well as it could have. For example, if a paragraph did not contain a transition from one concrete detail to another, that specific part would sound choppy and unfinished. Embedding concrete details (or in this case, quotes) was very important to whether it came off sounding clear or not. If there was no introduction to the quote, the reader (or listener) would not know when the quote had started, it would sound sloppy and not "tucked in"
     Personally, I believe that I need to work on choosing my concrete details so that they fit into the point that I am attempting to make. If the concrete details are not fitting for the topic, the main point would not necessarily come off as clear to the reader. To help with choosing the concrete details, I would have to look through the novel or topic we are working with having a more open mindset.
