Eeek! My newcomer English professor assigned us a short story. Simple, easy, etc. But, the catch is that is has to be in the five paragraph essay form. And, it's due in 48 hours.

I have a well-written story, but it's not in five paragraph form. How do I go about making it five paragraph essay form?

Switch sentences around, play with it a little, add in, take out, and voila! A masterpiece. :D

Indeed. Just mix it around, add and subtract sentences.

Feel comfortable posting it here? I'm sure people wouldn't mind helping you out.
Got YWS? I do.

Thanks WritingLuver5 and Hinter!

Well, yes, changing sentences works, but it becomes quite dull.

Attention Getter
Thesis: I surprised to see Bigwig already nibbling on dinner.
SOD: This happened first, second, third.
Transition: The Landlady entered the greenhouse carrying a golden tray of tea cups and cookies.

And so on... Obviously I have more detail than that. But, my point is that the first paragraph makes for a horrible expedition (beginning).

it is quite something to wound someone and then pity their scars
