Each paragraph should be 6-8 sentences in length and include the following:
➢ A topic sentence is a general statement or message at the beginning of the paragraph that describes what the paragraph is going to be about.
➢ The supporting details explain the topic sentence by giving specific examples and explanations. For the body paragraphs, be sure to include at least one citation from both the song and the novel. See below for examples of proper MLA formatting.
