Question

Can anybody tell me how many paragraphs should I write for this question ( for and against essay)

Is Austen critical or admiring of small town life? Is Highbury's insulation help or hindrance? Discuss the roles that setting and gossip play in Emma.

Answer 1

An essay that's showing both sides of the argument's should follow:
I,1,2,3(4), C which is the best structure to follow for this type of writing.
I- Introduction.
1- First paragraph (Their point and twist it to your view.)
2- Second Paragraph (Their point and twist it to your view.)
3- Third Paragraph (Your point.)
(4) - Forth paragraph ( Only needed for high marks but your point again.)
C- Conclusion ( This is where you round all of your reasons off and leaning to your side.)

Answer 2

I would say at least 5 with am opening paragraph, 3 body paragraphs (anti small town life, prosmall time life, and the effect of setting and social situations), with a conclusion.

If you feel you need expand past 3 body paragraphs, consider making a sub-topic or reduce content.

Best of luck!
