help!
okay so i'm pretty retarded i guess when it comes to writing papers. i have a thesis, right? and for body paragraphs i'm supposed to have a topic sentence derived from the thesis. i'm writing each topic sentence as a variation of the thesis, and i'm NOT using the exact wording. is this totally wrong?
example: Thesis: Black Boy is an extended blues song because it laments about Richard Wrights historical context, travel, relationships, vices, and discrimination. Topic Sentence 1: Black Boy is an extended blues song because it laments about Richard Wright's historical context. Topic Sentence 2: Richard Wright wrote Black Boy as an extended blues song because it laments about traveling. Topic Sentence 3: Black Boycontinues to be an extended blues song as Richard Wright laments about relationships.
