Body Paragraphs The majority of your essay should be the body paragraphs. You should make sure to include information on why the book was banned to begin with. This will help provide the reader with some context. Body paragraphs for an argumentative essay should each focus on one reason that supports your thesis statement. For example, you might think that your book should not be banned because it helps teach an important life lesson and you might write a paragraph explaining that idea with evidence from the book. You might list the fact that the book teaches important life lessons as a reason in your thesis statement and have several paragraphs that focus on each lesson.

Body Paragraphs continued... You might also talk about why you feel the book should be banned. In that case, each body paragraph should focus on why the book should be banned. You talk about how the book could be a trigger for some people and go on to explain that idea further. You might even talk about how there are more negatives than positives about the book.

Conclusion Your conclusion should be the last paragraph in your essay. It should summarize what you have already talked about and restate your thesis statement. This paragraph should not bring up any new information. It should be about 3-4 sentences in length. If your conclusion is too long, then you have written too much.
