Could you just switch the solution paragraph with some other paragraph that would be better at the end, or does your teacher want a completely new paragraph?

OpenStudy (sanra123):

she wants a completely new paragraph @Octoknightx

OpenStudy (sanra123):

omg yay your here

OpenStudy (sanra123):

@Octoknightx can u help me now writing a new paragraph with a new idea

OpenStudy (sanra123):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I came up with no ideas for a new paragraph. A conclusion is easy to fix, but writing a new paragraph...

OpenStudy (sanra123):

ok can u fix my conclution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think your thesis is? Do you think it is that we should be able to balance technology or is it that technology is harmful?

OpenStudy (sanra123):

no my whole essay is about that technology makes us feel lonelier

OpenStudy (sanra123):

and i think my intro doesn't show that i will be talking about this

OpenStudy (sanra123):

cause i think i have to talk straight into the main point that its caucuses to feel lonely

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, it does look like the introduction needs a clear thesis.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

yes i know can u help me with that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does the introduction need to be as long as it is? I mean your introduction contains a lot of supporting evidence that could be used to make another paragraph and you could just make your introduction a simple one.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

it has to be a little long but then she told me to contain the main points of what u will talk in each paragraph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So could it be like this: An interesting start to bring the reader in. It could be a question like, "Do you know what it means to truly be lonely?" or something like that. Then you explain what you mean by that question and branch off into stating your main points (technology makes us feel lonely, it destroys relationships, and it's addictive). Then you state your thesis. It could be something like "Technology has not increased the quality of communication as many people are quick to believe; rather, it has caused it to decline." (something fancy). Would that be long enough? I could make an example of what I mean if you want.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

yes but we ant allowed to write questions

OpenStudy (sanra123):

are not

OpenStudy (sanra123):

we have to begin with technology or anything ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well if you can't use questions then some surprising statement would work. I just can't think of one. It would have to be one that would shock someone; it has to make them think. Like if you said, "Technology sucks!" then that would work...except we don't want to say that in this essay.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

i know... i just want to show that im talking about technology makings feel lonelier

OpenStudy (sanra123):

ill only change the beginning showing that ill be talking about technolgy and how it makes us feel lonelier

OpenStudy (sanra123):

we won't change all the intro

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, right now the only thing I have in my head for a good statement is something like, "Only you can stop virtual lonesome disorder." I guess it works. Might be able to branch out from there.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

ok how can i make it as an intro

OpenStudy (sanra123):

i just want help in telling the audience that ill be talking about this topic

OpenStudy (sanra123):

@Octoknightx what do i think i can do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, I'm trying to see what happens when I add the statement. It seems to work. I just have a problem with finding a place to add the main points and thesis.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

at the beginning

OpenStudy (sanra123):

maybe after it made global communication...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldn't the thesis statement need to be at the end? That's where it's usually supposed to go.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

no thesis has to be in the beginning of the intro

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok but now I have a problem. I stated the main points like this: "Technology makes us feel lonely, it destroys relationships, and it’s addictive." Now that actually looks like a thesis statement as well. Would you consider that a thesis?

OpenStudy (sanra123):

no a thesis statement sums up what u are going to talk about ...such as nowadays technology has been so addictive that made us feel lonlier

OpenStudy (sanra123):

the main point are in-between the introduction

OpenStudy (sanra123):

and the first thing we write in this essay is thee thesis statement then explain it then the main ideas of the paragraph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, well let me show you what I have so far.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

the conclusion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, that's just the intro. I needed a thesis to do the conclusion so the intro has to be first. Still need to come up with a good thesis.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

its a really good thesis

OpenStudy (sanra123):

what do u think ? i think its better than before

OpenStudy (sanra123):

it made it clearer than before

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just realized that I already came up with a thesis before. "Technology has not increased the quality of communication as many people are quick to believe; rather, it has caused it to decline."

OpenStudy (sanra123):

ohhh rightttt u can add it if u want

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where do you think it best fits?

OpenStudy (sanra123):

maybe after global communication..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (sanra123):

yes very nice thank you now can we work on the conclusion

OpenStudy (sanra123):

@Octoknightx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (sanra123):

Conclude by restating the claim and summarizing your supporting evidence, and commenting on the rebuttals.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

for conclusion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok....that should be easy. Give me a minute and I'll send an example.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Very basic conclusion. I didn't really do much other than restate the same thing in the beginning, but it looks alright.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

commenting on the rebuttals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"Technology has not increased the quality of communication as others are quick to believe, but has caused the quality of communication to decline." The "as others are quick to believe".

OpenStudy (sanra123):

oh ok thanks a lot for your help but i thought the teacher told me not to copy paste what wrote in the into but to rephrase it

OpenStudy (sanra123):

intro

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok...how about "In conclusion, many others are quick to believe that technology has improved the quality of communication; however, it is clear that technology has not improved the quality of communication but has caused it to decline."

OpenStudy (sanra123):

ok thanks for helping me :)

OpenStudy (sanra123):

@Octoknightx

OpenStudy (sanra123):

@Octoknightx i need help they gave me lots of feedbacks i have to fix

OpenStudy (sanra123):

they told me i have to define vld cause they first have to know what is it ?

OpenStudy (sanra123):

and they told me to add my thesis at the beginning of the paragraph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok...well for the VLD just replace it with Virtual Lonesome Disorder.

OpenStudy (sanra123):

@Octoknightx they told me to add a strong belief at the end of my conclusion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Something like "The fact is, technology has caused us to feel lonelier than we ever were" would work?
