What is sustaining the through-line?Show answer
A sustained response keeps the thesis present in every paragraph. Each body paragraph advances one stage of the argument and ties back to the central claim, so the essay reads as one developing line of thought rather than a set of disconnected observations. The enemy is the paragraph that wanders into plot summary or technique-spotting and forgets what it was arguing. Before each paragraph, name in your head the single claim it adds to the thesis.
