In a five-paragraph essay, the first paragraph is an introduction; the second, third, and fourth paragraphs form the body of the essay; and the fifth paragraph is a conclusion. The three stages of essay writing: 1 Tell the reader what you are going to tell them (introduction: paragraph one) 2 Tell them (body: paragraphs two, three and four) 3 Tell them what you have told them (conclusion: paragraph five) An Argumentative essay requires you to present a reasoned argument on a particular issue. A well- balanced essay of this type presents arguments about both sides of an issue. Present your (two) arguments in two paragraphs with supporting evidence, examples or reasons. Then, look at the issue you are addressing in your essay from another viewpoint. In this case: One topic sentence will consist of a conflicting opinion. The rest of the paragraph will provide your counterarguments. That is, you refute the argument or provide evidence against it. Introductory paragraph Introduces the topic. Provides thesis statement The first sentence(s) introduce(s) the topic of the essay in an interesting way. The thesis statement is the most important sentence in the entire essay. It presents the essay topic and your position on the topic and indicates the main ideas that will be discussed in the body paragraphs. Body paragraphs The body of an essay consists of three paragraphs. Each body paragraph explains in detail one of the main ideas expressed in the thesis statement. There are three parts to a body paragraph: 1 a topic sentence 2 supporting sentences 3 a concluding sentence (optional) 5 The topic sentence The first sentence – the topic sentence – expresses the topic of the paragraph It provides a controlling idea about the topic. All information in the paragraph supports the controlling idea. Supporting sentences Supporting sentences explain and develop the topic sentence. They present logical thoughts, evidence, and explanations in support of the controlling idea. Concluding sentence The paragraph may end with a concluding thought on the paragraph topic. It may also show a transition to the next paragraph. The concluding paragraph The conclusion consists of two elements: a restated thesis, a summary of main ideas. The thesis is restated in words different from those in the introduction. The main ideas from each of the body paragraphs are summarized as a reminder to the reader. NB The introduction and conclusion (together) should account for approximately 20% of the word count (100-110 words). 6 FIVE-PARAGRAPH ESSAY STRUCTURE INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH HOOK BUILDING/INTRODUCTORY SENTENCES THESIS STATEMENT BODY PARAGRAPH ONE TOPIC SENTENCE SUPPORTING SENTENCES (CONCLUDING SENTENCE) BODY PARAGRAPH TWO TOPIC SENTENCE SUPPORTING SENTENCES (CONCLUDING SENTENCE) BODY PARAGRAPH↓ THREE TOPIC SENTENCE SUPPORTING SENTENCES (CONCLUDING SENTENCE) CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH RESTATED THESIS SUMMARY/REITERATION OF MAIN IDEAS 7 PLANNING YOUR ESSAY The plan gives your essay a clear structure. This makes it a lot easier for the reader to follow your argument. A good essay has a carefully planned structure that is clear, logical and relevant to the question. Plans should be in note form. It serves as a map for you to follow. Points to remember when planning your essay: Brainstorm ideas. Edit and organize ideas. Discard those not relevant to your arguments. Make sure you have evidence to support those you will include in your essay. Set out your arguments clearly. Chose words and phrases to convey them accurately and concisely. Use domain-specific lexis. NOTE Making up your ideas as your write your essay will lead to an unstructured, and unorganized, piece of writing. It will not have logical coherence or persuasive force. Your arguments will not be clear. Very often, the language suffers as a result. 8 Writing a Compare/Contrast Essay • A compare/contrast essay notes similarities and differences. • The compare/contrast format should make a point or serve a purpose. i.e to support a for example: Bring one or both of the subjects into sharper focus. The thesis can present the subjects and argue whether they are similar/different. The same points must be discussed for both subjects.

    The Changing Place of Animals in Post-Franco Spain with particular reference to Bullfighting, Popular Festivities, and Pet-keeping. Vibeke Hansen A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Essex October 2015 Abstract This is a thesis about the changing place of animals in post-Franco Spain, with particular reference to bullfighting, popular festivities, and pet-keeping. The thesis argues that since the ‘transition’ to democracy (1975-1982), which made Spain one of the most liberal social-democratic states in Europe, there have been several notable developments in human-animal relations. In some important respects, Spain has begun to shed its unenviable reputation for cruelty towards animals. Three important changes have occurred. First, bullfighting (corridas) has been banned in the Canary Islands (1991) and in Catalonia (2010). In addition, numerous municipalities have declared themselves against it. Second, although animals are still widely ‘abused’ and killed (often illegally) in local festivities, many have gradually ceased to use live animals, substituting either dead ones or effigies, and those that continue to use animals are subject to increasing legal restrictions. Third, one of the most conspicuous changes has been the growth in popularity of urban pet-keeping, together with the huge expansion of the market for foods, accessories and services - from healthy diets to cemeteries. The thesis shows that the character of these changing human-animal relations, and the resistance

Schwartz ~--::n dvisor C. Ruth King Department of Art ABSTRACT My thesis is essentially the story of how an American kid grew to become an artist, by searching for answers around the world, through volumes of words, and within his heart. It explains how this artist draws connections between bullfighting and the cycle of life, and how said artist fits into the scheme. Finally, it discusses this artist's artwork, and its evolution as a result of this growth process. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank my advisor, Mary Jo, for her support and encouragement throughout this writing process. I also wish to express gratitute to the remainder of my committee, Bob and Ruth, for their enthusiasm and dedication.

All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Reading Costumbres – El Verdadero Espíritu de los Peruanos: A Semiotic Analysis of a Peruvian TV Program by HERNÁN MEDINA JIMÉNEZ has been approved for the Center for International Studies by Karen E. Riggs Professor of Media Arts and Studies José A. Delgado Director, Latin American Studies Daniel Weiner Executive Director, Center for International Studies 3 ABSTRACT Medina Jiménez, Hernán., M.A., August 2010, Latin American Studies Reading Costumbres – El Verdadero Espíritu de los Peruanos: A Semiotic Analysis of a Peruvian TV Program (148 pp.) Director of Thesis: Karen E. Riggs This thesis analyzes the TV program Costumbres and the different meanings between the opening credits and the TV program’s content. To ensure that the analysis remains concrete, the episode chosen was Mi Santa Cruz, Pueblo de Amor—literally, “Saint Cross of Andamarca, my Home Town”—broadcast on Peruvian Public Broadcasting on 2007. Despite the fact that the opening credits repeat the same images of the TV program, the study argues that both products―the opening credits and the TV program―are essentially different because the former creates a different structure and a different concept throughout the editing process. In general, whereas each TV program addresses only one traditional festivity, the opening credits consist of a collection of excerpts from different TV episodes whose plot can be seen repeatedly by the audience every time the program is on the air.

    Welcome to Cádiz The province of Cadiz is in vogue. The fact that for many years it has remained separated from the mass tourism that has affected di- fferent areas along the Andalusian coast has facilitated the growth of a quality tourism that has respected the environment. This is not surprising, given that Cadiz is en- dowed with every attractive feature that a first class tourist destination needs: kilometres of beaches with transparent waters and fine gol- den sands framed by pine forests and endless stretches of dunes; mountain areas that have been declared a Biosphere Reserve (Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park), as well as having territory included in five other natural parks and numerous natural spaces: a unique gas- tronomy that draws from both sea and sierra produce, with high quality wines protected un- der the Jerez-Xeres-Sherry, Mazanilla de Sanlu- car and Sherry Vinegar Denomination of Origin (DO); festivals of International Tourist Interest with a marked personality; towns full of protec- ted monuments, and customs and traditions, like flamenco, whose earliest origins can in many cases be traced to the province of Cadiz. And if this were not enough, Cadiz is blessed with over 3,000 hours of sunlight each year and mild temperatures that allow visitors to take advantage of the superb surroundings, in addition to a friendly population whose warmth helps make all who come feel right at home. Come to Cadiz. Get to know us. Entre dos mares Located at the southernmost point of Europe, The many protected monuments and the rich in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, the art heritage of millenarian and aristocratic ci- natural borders of Cadiz are the provinces of ties like Cadiz, Jerez and Sanlúcar de Barra- Huelva, Seville and Malaga.
