Quick question about context writing.

[kendraaaaa]

In the following scenario:

Body paragraph 1 : "In J.D Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield ......."

Body paragraph 2 : "This is shown by Holden Caulfield who ...."

Is what I've written in the second 'paragraph' okay? Or must I introduce the character formally in each instance.

Should be in body 2: Again, Holden epitomises this when...

Should be in body 2: Again, Holden epitomises this when...

That sounds very much like a text response =S

True, however, this is done AFTER the idea is explored in the start of the paragraph.

agreed. Stop forcefully putting in there.

I would seriously avoid putting the text in your topic sentence.  If you do so you frame the entire paragraph around the book and thus anything you say becomes seen in terms of the book.  It will probably make you think in terms of the book as well and compromise the theoretical side of your discussion.

Remember when Miss Cemeljic got us to to write the same paragraph on Bloody Sunday but with the two different topic sentences?  The second one was way more focused and direct.

Not that it's a big fail line or anything but it takes the focus from the context to the text.

No no no no, sorry I didn't make myself clear. I'll try to be less of a douche and rewrite:

Paragraph 1:

Idea.
Extrenuous explanation
Textual explanation

What I wrote in my initial post was in reference to the bolded part of my paragraph, sorry for the misleading post.

Oh right, cool.
