What are the pieces of a well-developed paragraph for a commentary? There are many important pieces to this puzzle. A well-developed paragraph’s first sentence introduces your first point. This is important, because as a reader we must know what your paragraph is about. Without this sentence, your paragraph is random and not understandable. Next, you must provide an example to your point. You need to explain why your point makes sense, or else it would be only a bizarre guess. It is best to use direct quotes from the text, and to use more than one example. The next few sentences are explanations of your examples. Sometimes, readers cannot simply understand why the writer choose the example they did, so it is important to explain why you choose the example, and how the example creates an effect of the story. Finally, the last sentence is dedicated to restating the significance of your paragraph. This way, the reader both remembers why you are writing this paragraph and that you, as the writer, remember. This is also a good time to transition into the next paragraph. A good flow in an essay not only sounds better as it is being read, but also keeps the reader interested. These are the important pieces of a well-developed paragraph.
~Paragraph~
In the first paragraph, the literary devices that Sayer chooses helps show the rising anxiety Wimsey feels as he makes his ascent up the belfry. WE begin to feel Wimsey’s pain the minute he steps on the ladder and hears the bells that are “like the blows from a thousand hammers.” (Line 5) This hyperbolic simile creates the effect of intense, torturous pain. As Wimsey begins his climb, those hammering sounds drive the pain as he does, and this is only the beginning. “It rocked and reeled with the reeling of the bells, and staggered like a drunken man.” (Line 6-7) A man who is drunk feels little pain, then as he goes on the pain of the alcohol increases. The same goes for Wimsey. As he begins his climb, only the beginning of his pain is known. Wimsey’s pain is directly related to his climb through the demonic noise.
