I went over this before, but just in case, I'm going to write this here.
When writing an essay using supporting research, this is the correct introduction sequence...
1st part - The topic, or for this essay the movies being discussed
2nd part - What others have said...what the common assumptions are
3rd part - Thesis statement
The introduction can be 1 or 2 paragraphs.
Let's
use the Disney example again. I want to write that Disney movies today
are vastly different than before, and I'm going to use 2 movies to show
this.
Example paragraph...
Evolved
sounds like the right term to use for Disney movies. Take Cinderella
and Frozen, two classics from different generations. One movie features a
lonely girl who lives with her abusive sisters and finds the right man
to spend the rest of her life with. The other showcases the love of two
sisters over any other romantic subplot. While others believe Disney movies are similar in many ways today, changes are slowly taking over. Compared
to the 1950s, current Disney movies are more varied in plot and themes,
giving a wider range of characters for children to look up to.
As
I wrote, this is a simplified example and the introduction can go on
for 2 paragraphs. It's not a good idea to keep it going for longer than 2
paragraphs, especially when the paper is limited to 3-5 pages.
