If your essay is too long, try to narrow the thesis statement soit does not cover as much. Likewise, if your essay is too short,consider broadening the thesis statement so it encompasses more.You may also narrow or broaden your topic sentences so they covertwo or more related points. Remember that a body paragraph isusually six to eight sentences long.
