- Example--a specific event or fact that supports your thesis
- Explanation--explain to your reader why this example supports your thesis--sometimes this step seems like you are restating the same thing over and over but it is a necessary step
Thesis: Batman is more popular than Superman because Batman is more relatable to audiences.
Paragraph 1:
- Point--The fact that Batman can be hurt more easily than Superman is not a weakness for the Dark Knight and is instead what makes him more popular.
- Example--Batman is human and can get hurt (broken back in 3rd movie)
- Explanation--The audience can also be injured and can relate their personal experiences with the superhero
- Point--Because Superman is not from our world and has abilities that humans could never have, he is more alienated from the audience.
- Example--Superman has skills that are impossible for humans to ever achieve. (flight, x-ray vision, speed)
- Explanation--Audiences like to watch the supernatural stunts of Superman, but in the end they serve to alienate the audience because humans can't do any of these things without aid from machines. Batman builds technology to make him supernatural, something the audience could do with enough money
