Sample intro, body, and conclusion paragraphs from our last batch of essays. Use these samples to help guide you as your formulate your analysis for your //Night// essay. You have your own writing style; I'm not suggesting that you try to sound like these authors. Instead, work to see patterns that they use that are successful. For example: pull phrases out of quoted material and unpack them fully, think about writing like an equation (idea "A"+ idea "B"=idea "C"), name the devices specifically, make sure each topic sentence makes a clear argument, etc.

Things to remember:
