The introduction should have a hook to grab attention, a topic leading to a thesis statement, and then the major points you will use to support your topic. All of these items work together to make a solid intro.
Example thesis: The story shows [topic] through [point 1], [point 2] and [point 3].
Another example: One of the larger themes of the play Macbeth is guilt. This can be seen through [point 1], [point 2] and [point 3].
The first body paragraph is about point 1, and ONLY point one. You go into detail and use support such as quotes from the story and paraphrased scenes, from the story to back up your thesis. Make sure each paragraph is at least 4-5 sentences long.
The second body paragraph is about point 2, and once again uses details, quotes and paraphrased scenes to support that point.
The third does the same thing.
In your conclusion, you should restate your thesis and main points again, but in different words.
Hope that helps!
