A MEAL paragraph is a format that helps guide the writer in literary analysis writing. It is an acronym for: Main Idea - the paragraph's central focus, what you are trying to prove within the paragraph. Evidence - examples that help prove the main idea (and, in a longer paper, the thesis). Analysis - This section is the most important part of the paragraph; it is where the writer digs deep into the evidence and explains how and why it proves the thesis. Transcend what the quotation, or any other from of evidence, says and explain connections that you personally come up with. REMEMBER: EXPLAIN HOW AND WHY!!! Last Thought/Linking Sentence - If you're just writing a paragraph, use this sentence to restate the Main Idea (in a different way!) and wrap up your thoughts. For a longer paper, connect your main idea back to your paper's thesis. Sometimes teachers will tell you to transition to the next paragraph's idea.
