Question

so lets start with flatness. characters in a fairy tale are always flat (whether little red riding hood, stepmother, hedgehog, or beast.) in \the rosebud,\ we have a mother and two children, one identified only as \the youngest\ and one discarded after the first sentence. fairy - tale characters are silhouettes, mentioned simply because they are there. they are not given many emotions—perhaps one, such as happy or sad—and they are not in psychological conflict.... this absence of depth, this flatness, violates a technical rule writers are often taught in beginning writing classes: that a characters psychological depth is crucial to a story. in a fairy tale, however, this flatness functions beautifully; it allows depth of response in the reader. - \fairy tale is form, form is fairy tale,\ kate bernheimer
how does the writer effectively structure the body paragraph to develop the central idea that fairy tales are important? check all that apply.
□ by presenting an effective thesis statement
□ by beginning with a topic related to the central idea
□ by defining the topic discussed
□ by providing examples related to the topic
□ by concluding the central idea

Explanation:

The body - paragraph starts with "So let's start with flatness", a topic related to fairy - tales. It defines the flatness of fairy - tale characters and provides examples like characters in "The Rosebud". A thesis statement is usually in the introduction, not body, and the paragraph doesn't conclude the central idea.

Answer:

by beginning with a topic related to the central idea
by defining the topic discussed
by providing examples related to the topic
