(Critical Thinking***) Evidence comes from the TEXT! It is the support you use to prove your reason. Elaboration comes from YOU! It explains your evidence supports your reason(s).

A sane one knows that it is not possible for a person to hear all things in heaven or on earth, that one cannot hear the beating of another person’s heart without a stethoscope, and that one’s heart does not continue to beat after his death. Cleary, these examples show how the narrator is indeed exhibiting signs of insanity by his loss of touch with reality. (Wrap-it-up Sentence) Textual Evidence Elaboration
