Your introductory paragraph should feature your main idea and mention the pertinent author and text, and this idea should be developed in the succeeding body paragraphs through the analysis of examples drawn from the pertinent text. Whatever examples you use, be sure to relate clearly and thoroughly HOW your analysis develops an understanding of the material. The focus of your arguments should be clear and organized, but your treatment of the text is only limited by your own intelligence and ingenuity. GET CREATIVE! GO Wild!
