...it is not the number of sentences that construct a paragraph, but it is the unity and coherence of ideas among those sentences that makes a paragraph a paragraph.
What do you have to say about this quote, about the concept of a controlling idea? Write a solid, well-developed paragraphs about the nature of paragraphs.

This quote about sentences in a paragraph make a lot of sense to me. The nature of paragraphs should be judged on the content, not the length. For example, in this article the author talked about how length can vary depending on the content, that one sentence in a paper could be a paragraph depending on what it is saying.
This quote really makes sense, its true that it doesn't matter how many sentences you have, what matters is that the paragraphs are well put together. You can have a really long paragraph but it doesn't make any sense.
When developing paragraphs for a paper, the number of sentences is a key idea but not as important and the ideas and coherence among the sentences in the paragraph. Sentence coherence and ideas all need to be the same in a sense. Writers cannot be jumping around topics in a pararaph. such as, the paragrpah may be talking about their dogs playing and the writer cannot start tlaking about Paris France and the atteactiosn there.It needs to flow and be easy to read. The topic sentence needs to be clearly stated with evidence to support that. lastly, a conclusion of the paragraph should be a summary of your own ideas and thoughts
This quote about sentencing in a paragraph can make a lot of sense when dealing with writing. The number of sentences does not matter in a form of writing, but the unity and coherence of these ideas into sentences is what really matters. The sentencing depends on how much you have to say, and how long it takes to say it deals with how coherant the paragraph really is, it does not really matter how many sentences there truely are.
In paragraphs the meaning that is written can be written in as many sentences as possible. Sometimes writing a meaningful paragraph only takes 3 sentences and sometimes it takes 10. It all depends on what the person has to say. It is all in what is written on paper that makes a paragraph meaningful not how many sentences there are. But, you do need enough sentences in a paragraph to state what you need to state. Paragraph coherence is important because when writing all of the sentences need to flow together to explain a major point. To explain a major point it can be written in many ways and can be explained with as many sentences as you can.
Generally, there are 7-10 sentences per paragraph in a college level paper...but it's not the law. This just indicates that there are significant levels of detail and support in a paragraph.
I feel that controlling you paragraphs means to stay on topic. I know from personal experience that I have tended to run on and on about completely irrelavnt things to try and get my point across. I know that if you try and write very specific details to your main topic that it will further better you.
This quote about sentences in a paragraph make since and I find it to be true. When writing a paper or a certan amount of paragraphs it should be based on the content. How well and detailed it is. It should also be based on if you get the point across to the reader. What I'm saying is that it should be based on how well you put it together.
The quote is true in the fact that I can make a very long paragraph and put a lot of filler words in it and it won’t make any since at all then if I make a paragraph that is strait to the point.
The quote explains it more of the emphasize you put into then by showing people you have a lot of sentences. You should see the well-developed and explained than someone showing you his sentences.
The quote was really good. The number of sentence a part in makeing your paragraps. Its do not matter how many sentence you have if thay all are good.I think it all depends on what the person has to say to the reader.
This quote makes a lot of sense to me. I beleive it does not matter how many sentence are in a paragraph. A paragraph shoud depend on the detail and the content. For example you could have a long paragraph but, it not make any sense and you can have a short paragraph with great detail and to the point.
This quote is very logic. I completely agree because its not the length that matters its the quality. How much detail and the quality of your writing is much more important to the reader than the length. When developing a paragraph you should always focus on the content of your writting and make sure you stay in the focus you are writting about.
I think this quote is true. a paragraph should be base on length. the lengh of your paragraph can sometimes depends on your topic sentence. usually the average paragraph have to consist of 7 to 10 sentences but if your to go into futher details in your paragrahs. It depends on your topic sentence in your paragraph. if you have a plain and simple topic sentence, your paragraph would be plain and simple. but if your topic sentence consist of a lot of details, well your going to have a long paragragh.
This quote is saying that it doesn’t matter how long your paragraph is or how many sentences are included. It matters what is in it. Your paragraphs have to be solid and include what you are trying to say. There may be times where one paragraph is one page long with 20 sentences. There may be others where it only takes up there inches of space on a page.
This quote is true. Because I have found out that more in a papragraph is a bunch of nothing. My teacher has always told me to write as much as it take to get your point across
