Edwards Body Paragraph Outline

To make sure you get all of the steps needed for quality analysis, I am posting an outline of what an Edwards Body Paragraph should do. Please note that you will need to do all steps within your paragraph, but that each step will probably be more than one sentence-especially the how step. This is a single paragraph, so it should look like a single paragraph on your paper.

I've reprinted the prompt for your assignment below in case you need it.

Edwards Introduction and Body Paragraph


Using the format provided in Part I of your “Musings” packument, write an introduction and body paragraph on “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.”


Thesis Ideas: Edwards creates fear in the audience. The purpose of this fear is to ________________________.


POA: Edwards uses imagery, structure, and rhetoric.


Your body paragraph will focus on the discussion of his use of imagery.
