The Paragraph..

A paragraph contains all the sentences that deal with one set of ideas. Paragraph has main idea and its explanation. The main idea or theme given in the first sentence which usually called as topic sentence. It placed in the first sentence because it gives an overview to the reader about the paragraph. Other sentences in the paragraph are supporting sentences. Supporting sentences give specific details related to topic idea. We separated the text into paragraph in order to tell the readers about the beginning and the end of one topic.

There are several kinds of paragraph. Every kind has it special character. Narration is kind of paragraph that usually used in the narrative text for example story, fable etc. Exposition paragraph is an explanatory writing which almost all articles use it. Definition and description are almost same. Both of them have a similarity on explaining about something. But description paragraph not only explain but also has a function to make the readers feel the same as the writers. Comparison paragraph compare two different things. We have to make a list everything about those two things that going to be compared. Process analysis paragaph, it’s my first time to know this kind of paragraph. I also can  not easily understand it, but after I read the example I think it’s like procedure paragraph which my teacher in the school before have thaught about. The last one is persuasion paragraph. Persuasion paragraph is almost always used in editorial and column. Direct sentences like “Try it!” are also used in this kind of paragraph. It has a purpose to persuade people to change their mind and take action. Thus when we want to make a paragraph we have to know well its paragraph first and using the right step because paragraph is not same each other.

When I read the materials that have been given I almost can understand the whole topic. But there are some kinds of paragraph that are looks alike and make me a bit confused about how to differentiate them. And also I’m still can not understand well about how to make a comparison, definition, and exposition paragraph. So if all of you guys are know about it well, I will be very happy if you leave a comment below this and give me some explanation. OK? Thanks in advance.. ^_^
