A curiously ridiculous short essay:
Formatting in MLA Style
The introductory paragraph to this essay (the first
paragraph of three in this case) starts here.
paragraph itself is quite short.
The
If this essay
were real, a thesis statement would appear
somewhere near the end of this paragraph.
The
thesis would present the argument of the essay
while forecasting the structures of the paper.

This essay has only one body paragraph, and it
starts with this sentence.
The first sentence of
this paragraph—or perhaps the second sentence (or
both)—would be the topic sentence.
It would
connect the ideas in this paragraph directly to the
thesis, most likely by echoing some of the wording
from the thesis.
If Experiences with Authors were
cited in this paragraph, the in-text citation might
look like the one at the end of this sentence
(Parnell 43).
on the other hand, the item from the
Journal of the History of Authorship might be cited
as at the end of this sentence (Wilson 5o).
The
item in parentheses should correspond with the item
against the left margin on the Works-Cited page.
The conclusion (the third paragraph) starts with
this sentence.
The conclusion restates the thesis
using different wording and then offers a few
summarizing thoughts about the topic.

a conclusion (repetition of the main ideas, not of
the same sentences from earlier in the essay).
Formatted correctly, this essay ends on the last
line on the first page; the Works Cited appears on
the second page.
