Each body paragraph supports one part of the thesis. It opens with a topic sentence that states the paragraph's point. Next comes evidence, such as a quote, a fact or an example. Then the writer explains the evidence: what it shows and why it supports the claim. That explanation, often called analysis, is the heart of the paragraph. Many writers aim for at least two sentences of analysis for every piece of evidence. A closing sentence links the point back to the thesis.
