With all the talk about five part paragraphs I have learned a series of things. Everything from begining to the very end. For example, when you write a topic sentence it should be able to connect to every supporting point in the paragraph. I saw a couple papers that were like this as well as my own. Another aspect that has to be correct is the order of the paragraphs. When you have an order to the paragraph it not only flows better but if you have the quotes in order from begining to end then it also looks nicer. But, one of the most important things to remember is to embed quotes because if you just put the quote wherever without embeding it then it is not going to make any sense at all to the person reading it or the people your reading it to.
Alot of properties to a "good paragraph" are just common sense like remembering to add the page number of which you got the quotes. But those mistakes were made. Also, when it comes to commentary (which in my opinion is the hardest part) you have to have your opinion but without stating 'I' or 'me'. Otherwise it immediately turns into a paragraph on your specific opinion. That is not the only way you can get the commentary incorrect though, if it has more of an explanation of the events that happen from that specific part of the book than it will be analysed as plot summary and not enough of your own ideas on the detail of the section. So, in my opinion these are some of the most important aspects to remember when writing a five part paragraph.
