An Outline of an Analysis Paragraph Topic Sentence (TS): One sentence that states your point; it states what you’re trying to prove.

Citing within your Paragraph You must ALWAYS support your point with textual evidence and give credit where credit is due=acknowledge the author. Introduce the material being cited with a acknowledgement phrase that includes the author's name and title. Notice that the period follows the parenthetical citation. When a quotation ends with a question mark or an exclamation point, leave the end punctuation inside the quotation mark and add a period after the parentheses: "... !" (8).

Example James Smith, a writer for the Orange Country Register, reports that shortly after California made it illegal to use a handheld phone while driving, "accidents caused by using the phones dropped by 75 percent" (A8). This proves that outlawing cellphones while driving is reducing accidents and ultimately saving lives. The law is an essential addition to California’s legislation.
