Synopsis
Excerpt from Paragraph-Writing: A Rhetoric for Colleges
If there is a measure of truth in what has here been urged, it would appear that for certain periods in the stu dent's development the paragraph, as an example of struc tural unity, offers peculiar advantages. The nature of these advantages has already been suggested. They are, in brief, as follows: The paragraph, being in its method practically identical with the essay, exemplifies identical principles of structure. It exemplifies these principles in small and convenient compass so that they are easily appreciable by the beginner. Further, while the writing of the paragraph exercises the student in the same elements of structure which would be brought to his attention were he drilled in the writing of essays, he can write more paragraphs than he can write essays in the same length of time; hence the character of the work may be made for him more varied.
