I can find three points to argue for or exemplify just about any topic imaginable. Cats are good pets because they’re good companions, they’re clean, and they’re easy to care for. Jaws is a classic film because of its acting, its cinematography, and its musical score. Three examples of the U.S. government’s checks and balances are its executive branch, its legislative branch, and its judicial branches. The five-paragraph model is a valuable tool for many writing situations because it structures my writing, it aids my readers, and it is versatile.  \nOne advantage of the five-paragraph model is that it structures what I write. Before I learned the five-paragraph recipe, I’d either stare at a blank screen or I’d write one big block of text; now, I know to first identify three examples, reasons, or other supporting pieces of evidence. Then, I develop those three examples, reasons, or pieces of evidence into its own paragraph. I write a thesis statement based off those three examples, reasons, or pieces of evidence; I flesh out my introduction with a hook; and I write a conclusion paragraph. Following the five-paragraph model makes my writing tasks considerably less intimidating.  \nA related advantage of the five-paragraph model is that my following the recipe makes it easy for readers to follow my writing. When readers see five paragraphs (not one block of text), they can anticipate that I’ll introduce my topic in my first paragraph and that I’ll conclude my first paragraph with my thesis statement. Readers can predict that I’ll provide three examples, reasons, or other supporting evidence to support my thesis statement, each of which will be fleshed out in its own paragraph: boom, boom, boom. And readers know they’ll find my conclusions in my final, fifth paragraph. By using the five-paragraph model, I ease the burden on my readers.  \nA third advantage of the five-paragraph model is that, like most recipes, it can be doubled or even tripled. For a standard 400 to 500-word paper, I apply the standard single batch of the recipe, writing 75 to 100 words in each of the five paragraphs. For a 1000-word essay, I double the recipe writing by two paragraphs, rather than only one, for the introduction, the three supporting paragraphs, and the conclusion paragraph. I can even write a 5000-word paper with this recipe (by writing 1000 words for each of the five components). The five-paragraph model is versatile for all my writing needs.  \nIt’s obvious. I’m clearly a fan of the five-paragraph model. As long as I’m able to outline three reasons why Psychology is my favorite subject, three arguments why Pulp Fiction is better than Forrest Gump, and three examples of how Shakespeare’s works are relevant to current day society, I can write just about any analytical essay. The five-paragraph model is truly a valuable tool. I wished my life was as well structured, versatile, and easy to follow as the five-paragraph model.  \nBased off of an essay by Dr. Robert T. Koch Jr., UNA University Writing Center; August 27, 2007  \n([https://www.una.edu/writingcenter/docs/Writing-Resources/Organization5Paragraph.pdf](https://www.una.edu/writingcenter/docs/Writing-Resources/Organization5Paragraph.pdf))  \nModel Reasons-Style Five-Paragraph Essay (about Going to Movies)  \nI am a movie fanatic. When friends want to know what picture won the Oscar in 2001, they ask me. When friends want to know who voiced Optimus Prime in Transformers, they ask me. However, my buddies have stopped asking me ifI want to go out to the movies. While I love movies as much as ever, I find it more enjoyable to wait for a movie’s release on Netflix because of the inconvenience of going out, the temptations of the concession stand, and the behavior of some patrons.  \nFirst of all, just getting to the theater presents difficulties.
