Unity refers to the idea that all the information and suppositions presented in the essay should be closely related and focused on the central argument or topic. Each paragraph should support and contribute to the central idea of the essay, and all the sentences within each paragraph should be relevant to that paragraph’s topic sentence.
A lack of unity can occur when there are tangential or unrelated ideas introduced, which can cause confusion or distract the reader from the main point of the essay. This can also occur when a paragraph lacks a clear focus or when sentences within a paragraph do not relate to the topic sentence.
To achieve unity in essay writing, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the main point or thesis of the essay and to organize the essay’s content around that central idea. Each paragraph should have a clear topic sentence that connects to the thesis, and all the sentences within the paragraph should relate to that topic sentence. Attempting to maintain unity helps to keep the essay focused and easy to follow for the reader.
