Hello! Hope this isn't too late for you. I'll just give you a teeny outline of what an essay might look like. I'm assuming you're reading the book "The Metamorphosis"? Or you are doing it on actual insect metamorphosis? Not sure but I think you're doing the book. Please let me know! :D
Alright--so your first paragraph should have a hook sentence. So this could be something like, "Have you ever heard of ___? Well, ___ can cause ___. Patients currently recovering from lymphoma received from ___ product have said ____ about ____. Then your thesis statement: Glycerin is dangerous, and should be illegal, because reason 1, reason 2, and reason 3. Side note: you can have more reasons than 3, you can have 4-5 for a normal essay. So you can definitely add more information than that, and this sort of format I have here won't really fit for your essay, but that's kind of an ideal introduction paragraph. :) Do not forget your thesis statement, though! That should come either at the beginning 2 or 3 sentences or at the end of the paragraph. It looks weird when it's in the middle, off of experience.
Your second paragraph should support the reason 1. Do some research, get some direct quotes, etc., but make sure you cite your sources. By that, I mean make sure you put the link where you did the research and put it in your bibliography (very bottom of your paper). A good essay usually has some direct quotes, so here's the format for those.
"_contains a chemical compound called ___," Dr.___ states, "and it is very dangerous to the health of the public." Then summarize whatever the direct quote said in the next sentence.
Your third paragraph should support the reason 2. Again, you can do some research here and litter it with direct quotes or paraphrased parts. An example of paraphrasing:
Direct quote: "Due to its ability to retain moisture, _ may be beneficial for skin health, but it can cause nervous system distress, lymphoma, newly-spawned basal cells and kidney failure." Yikes!
Paraphrased: "__ can keep itself moisturized, so doctors think it could help skin. However, it can cause ailments like lymphoma, and nervous system distress, pre-cancer cells and kidney failure."
Your fourth paragraph should support paragraph 3, it looks like. You need a quote from the book or passage to be able to support whatever your answer is to paragraph 3. Make sure to cite the book and page number. :) You also need transition sentences in your essay. Here's an example:
1st paragraph: [based off of a friend :)] Paranoid or paranormal? My science fair topic was to investigate the things we can't see. I used magnetic-wave technology to identify sounds that our ears can't pick up, and real electric-wave technology. I did this because I have always been interested in finding things humans don't know about, and purpose. In this experiment, I did electrowave monitoring, received help from a scientist, and found out that ghosts may be real.
As I mentioned, I did electrowave monitoring. {...}
A scientist helped me with the electrowave monitoring. Dr. __ told me what he knew and was curious about, so I hoped to find the answers for him.
He and I worked together to find my results. The electromagnetic wave signal was at ___. We then used the soundwave technology, and picked up some words.
Anyway!
Hope that helps you. If you need anything else, let me know! :D I'll do my best to help you out.
