Why might you place two very different pieces of evidence from a text in the same paragraph?

You would do this because even though the evidence is different you are still trying to support the same idea. In most essays or papers, each paragraph is about an idea you are trying to support, not the evidence itself.

The opposite is more likely to be true; ask any student who is having trouble with high school English
