Body Paragraph #2: Your Thesis in Society At this point in the writing process, you have created a thesis and analyzed its presence in To Kill a Mockingbird. Now, it’s time to begin planning your second body paragraph. This paragraph focuses on proving your thesis through a current event from modern-day society (1980s onward). For example, my thesis is “kindness is more powerful than cruelty,” so I found an article about a black man who befriends members of the KKK and causes them to change their beliefs.

2nd Body Paragraph Outline: Topic Sentence – How is your thesis proven in your article? Give a 1-2 sentence introduction to the article Supporting Evidence 1 – How is your thesis shown in your chosen modern example?
