Five Paragraphs

 

One topic of the writing construct that really stood out to me when we were talking in class was that of having to use 5 Paragraphs when writing a paper. The main reason I question this is because what happens if you either have more or less than 3 main points in your paper. You either have to stretch to find another main point and then you have a weak paragraph, or you have to shrink two or more main points into one and then you would have a super paragraph and it may be confusing to read. Also, I feel like dividing your paper into may paragraphs makes it easier to read. If you have to write a 10 page paper and you can only use 5 paragraphs, that means the paragraphs are going to be two pages a piece. For me, reading for that long without a break in the words can get confusing, but if you break it up into sub paragraphs, it will look less intimidating and be easier to read.
