Beautiful Bodies

Dear English Answer Man:
What's the secret to writing the body of an essay?

The trick to body paragraphs is to sculpt and tone, sculpt and tone, sculpt and tone. If you want them to be extra solid, include some CONCRETE details. Plus, it helps to have a strong thesis statement--this is the foundation all fantastic bodies are built upon. 

If you are really having a hard time, find a guy named Jake and have him write the body. I've heard a lot of people have had success using this individual.

  1. find a guy named Jake? is this your alter ego or something? are you advertising for your actual students to pay you to write the essays you assign? I'm very dissapointed.

  2. I was referring to the exercise video series "Body by Jake." Get it? Find a guy named Jake to write your body--it would be a body by Jake.
