Suggested structure: Introduction paragraph that includes a main idea, multiple body paragraphs with evidence and support, and conclusion paragraph that wraps it up.
If for some reason you do not want to write about a relationship you have had, you can analyze a relationship from a television series or movie. Include links to clips or refer to specific episodes or time markers in the show(s) or film(s). Alternately, you can also write about the relationship of a close friend or family member.
The use of outside resources is strongly recommended, and all papers must be cited and written in current APA format.
