Paragraph # Main Point of Paragraph How/Why It Supports My
Argument

1 (thesis The blurbs for The Fault in Our Stars, The There is a greater focus on
statement) Notebook, and Fifty Shades of Grey all share what makes a better, more
similar defining conventions through their setting, successful blurb now.
textual features, and implied features (features
assumed to be true) that allow them their own
textual genre; the best romance blurbs use
endorsements and diction that evokes emotion in
the reader.

2 Book blurbs can be found in similar places. Where you find something is
a prime indicator of what
genre it falls in to since its
location is "repeated." (No
major changes.)

3 Different publishers and authors have similar These similarities clue us into
textual features in writing book blurbs. a specific genre through word
choice and tone. (raised the

4 Book blurbs are formatted similarly. Formatting is a valid way of

paragraph I introduced)

5 Book blurbs share some implied features. Shared "implied features" can
help us define genre.
