Elements of an Essay
Introduction:
Usually an introduction starts broad and narrows down to your specific topic, ending in the thesis. This is your opportunity to establish why readers might be curious about your general topic, catch their attention, or put your essay in context.
Thesis:
Your introduction should end with a clear, specific thesis statement, which will tell readers exactly what your paper will be arguing. Each body paragraph will directly and obviously support your thesis.
Body Paragraphs:
An essay usually has at least three body paragraphs, and these will be the arguments, evidence, or topics that support your thesis.
Topic Sentences:
Each body paragraph will begin with a topic sentence which introduces its topic. All of the information in that paragraph will be clearly and logically related to that topic sentence, which in turn should obviously relate to the thesis.
Support:
Transitions:
An effective essay will show the connection between paragraphs with transitions. These can be the final sentence of each body paragraph or can be integrated into the next topic sentence with transition words.
Conclusion:
A conclusion should wrap up your essay, but should not introduce new information or arguments. It should begin with a sentence that looks a lot like your thesis to summarize the general points of the paper as a whole, and then draw your paper neatly to a close.

III. Second Body Paragraph

1. servant women-Asthma… (cite article or book or bib)
1. After visiting an elderly servant woman on the verge of death, Che writes in his diary, “How long this order of things based on an absurd sense of caste will continue is not within my means to answer, but it is time that those who govern dedicate less time to propagandizing the compassion of their regimes and more money, much more money, sponsoring works of social utility (Guevara 29).”
2. leper colony… (cite article or book or bib)
1. His travels with Alberto Granado brought Che to many leprosaria mainly because Alberto was a medical researcher. Ernesto’s compassion is visible in an incident in a leprosarium in Argentina where Alberto was conducting research. A young girl was delivering an impassioned argument on the injustice of her internment. Alberto proved the severity of her condition by shoving a long needle into her back. The girl did not flinch, but Che did. He asked the girl to excuse them and then chastised Alberto for his unprofessional and cruel behavior for treating a patient so poorly (Anderson 61).
3. United Fruit Company hospital … (cite article or book or bib)
1. While in Golfito, Costa Rica he visited the Company hospital of United Fruit Company. He observed that while the medicine they practiced was correct, the quality of the medical treatment depended on the person’s position in the company. He laments, “as always the class spirit of the gringos can be seen (Anderson 119).”
Transition sentence: Che found that poor health was often the result of poor working conditions.
