PartII.
How to improve paper
-First I would make my paper in either the first person or third person. Then I would try to order the paragraphs so that they flow, putting the most general first and then getting more specific. It needs to sound like the paragraphs flow so I need put a good transition sentence at the end of each paragraph.

Part III
Jenn asked...
1. Why does it need to be most general to most specific?
- It needs to be most general to most specific because the introduction is the most general part of the essay, since it is first the rest should follow in order with the most specific at the end.
2. What is the emphasis of the paper?
- The ephasis of the paper is how the internet is hindering people's social skills.
3. What transitions will you use?
- The transition sentences would be to the effect of " Due to the fact that...." Or " This is further shown by..." It will help to lead into the next paragraph and next idea.

Nicole asked...
1. How are you going to generalize then go into specific details?
- Since the introduction is the most general part of the essay, it would be the first paragraph. Then each paragraph after that would get more specific.
2. How are you going to transition given the general to specific rule?
- The transition sentences will just help to lead to the next idea so that everything flows well. It doesn't really have anything to so with weither its specific or not.
3. How are you going to flow?
- I will make everything flow by bringing all the ideas together.
Fred asked...
1. What do you mean by 1st or 3rd?
- What I mean by 1st or 3rd is weither I will use "I" or "They."
2. What kind of transition sentences?
- The kind o transition sentences I will use are " Due to the fact that..." Or "This is further shown by..."
