Q: Your introduction should have a first sentence that hooks readers in. From there, you can give a brief overview of what the essay will discuss. Your thesis statement should appear somewhere towards the end of your introduction.  Questions can make fun hooks for the reader. Ask a rhetorical question that relates to the theme of the essay, such as "How does one decide what is good and what is evil?" You can also use a quote from the text as the hook. Find a quote in the text that explores the themes and ideas you'll be discussing in your essay. In your body paragraphs, introduce your supporting ideas. The beginning of each body paragraph should introduce a main point. The main point should connect back to your thesis statement and your discussion of a particular theme in the text. For example, you may introduce the role of nature plays in the text to discuss the theme of good and evil. The first sentence of your body paragraph should discuss the role of nature. This will set up the paragraph and let the reader know what the focus of the paragraph will be. Once you've introduced your supporting ideas, elaborate on them using quotes or references from the text you are analyzing. All your paragraphs should circle around the central theme or thesis of your essay, using the text as evidence.  For example, you may discuss the use of nature in the text in one paragraph. The body of the paragraph should then use quotes and scenes in the text to support this idea. You might write,"The descriptions of the Gabilan Mountains in the text symbolize good and evil. The characters in the story live in the Salinas Valley, trapped in a gray area between these two extremes." A good conclusion should sum up your main ideas and leave the reader with a memorable closing line. Restate your thesis statement in the conclusion, using slightly different wording.  Ask yourself, "What do I want my readers to have learned through this essay?" Remind readers about the essay's theme. Reference some of the arguments you made in the body of your essay, reinforcing how they support your original point.
A: Start with a hook. Introduce your supporting ideas. Use examples from the text. Create a strong conclusion.

Q: If you have a cushion or pillow that recommends washing the removable Sunbrella fabric in a machine, ensure that all the zippers are closed. Put the items in your machine on a cold wash cycle. Run a delicate cycle with the usual amount of mild laundry detergent. Remove the items from the machine and let them air dry. Avoid drying the Sunbrella fabric in the dryer, since this may get the fabric too hot. Get a large mixing bucket and pour in 1 gallon (3.78 liters) of water. Add 1 cup (236 ml) of bleach and 1/4 cup (60 ml) of mild dishwashing soap. Stir this mixture and put some of it into a spray bottle. Spray the Sunbrella fabric and let it soak in for 15 minutes. Then use a soft bristle brush or sponge to clean the mildew. Spray the fabric with water to rinse away the solution and let it air dry. If you have mildew on a part of the fabric, it's a good idea to treat the entire piece of fabric. This will prevent water rings and stains from forming. Many basic stains can be removed by spraying a soapy solution over it. Combine 1/4 cup (60 ml) of mild dishwashing liquid with 1 gallon (3.78 liters) of water. Spray this cleanser over your stain. Then use a sponge, soft towel, or soft bristle brush to rub the soapy solution into the stain and then rinse it clean with water. A simple soapy solution will remove these stains:  Ketchup or mustard Charcoal or pencil marks (vacuum the stain first) Chocolate Coffee or tea Soda or grape juice Raw egg
A: Put removable Sunbrella fabric in the washing machine. Create a bleach solution to remove mildew. Make a basic soap and water cleanser.

Q: These devices modify the programming on your vehicle's computer, called "reflashing," to allow for more horsepower, torque, and sometimes better fuel economy. On a naturally-aspirated engine, the horsepower increase will be quite minor, but with a supercharger you can see huge gains in HP. Some auto shops will advertise flashing options, saving you lots of money in the process. In practical terms, it's not something people often do themselves, so you might talk with a mechanic you trust about it if you're interested. Aftermarket power modules can be used in a similar way, sometimes offering up to 30 extra HP with proper installation.  To install, look in the driver's manual, a Chilton or a Haynes guide to see how to access the car's computer, then disconnect negative battery cable and unplug the wiring harness from the computer. Plug in an aftermarket power module. Insert it between the wiring harness and the computer. Reconnect negative battery cable. On the upside, re-flashing the computer in your car can be a great and efficient way of upping the horsepower, giving you a powerful ride. On the downside, it's an expensive process that requires you already have a supercharged engine — another expensive process. Many performance modifications to an engine can also decrease its fuel economy, and reflashing also generally voids any warranty on a vehicle you've purchased. Know that if you choose to complete the process, it's on you.
A: Enhance a turbocharged engine with a programmer. Enhance supercharged engine's computer with a power module. Weigh the pros and cons.

Q: There are several web businesses that offer USPS Certified Mail delivery. You shouldn't have to pay any monthly fees for an account.  Look at the price for sending Certified Mail. Decide if the price is worth what you will pay for the service. Make sure that the service offers next-day USPS tracking for your letter. Check to see that the service provides proof of mailing and USPS proof of delivery. Write a letter in your word processing program. Print and sign it if needed. Alternatively, use a form provided by the recipient. Again, print the form and sign it as needed. Save the scanned document on your hard drive. Make sure that the document is legible and easy to read. The service will then address, print and mail the letter on the same business day.
A:
Sign up for a free account. Prepare your letter for mailing. Scan the document using a scanner. Upload your document file onto the website of your mailing service. Keep a copy of your proof of mailing as well as the USPS proof of delivery.
