Spliting It Up
am writing a thesis paper on the Federal Theatre Project. I am towards the end, but I just need some advice on my paragraph. Each paragraph is about a different way the Federal Theatre Project bettered American Theatre or helped those involved in it. For instance some paragraphs are that it: employed many people, raised social awareness, brought about black theatre, was good for the audiences...etc. However, some of my paragraphs are VERY long, but I don't know how to brake each topic (like black theatre) into smaller paragraphs. Any ideas? thanks!

It's not that hard to break long paragraphs into shorter ones. There's no rule that each subtopic must consist of one giant self-contained paragraph. Just insert paragraph breaks where they seem to fit. Here, I'll do it with your question. While I'm at it, I'll also correct some other errors:

See? Easy! The point is to find points at which the language naturally pauses, and insert a break. It's usually a good idea to try keep paragraphs to no longer than five or six sentences at most. The point is to avoid taxing the reader's eye with line after line of unbroken text.
There's an old rule that a paragraph should be at least three sentences long, but that's not always a good idea. Sometimes, you can get a lot of impact by inserting a short one-sentence paragraph amidst other, longer ones.
Like this.
Just play around with it. This is a learning experience, after all. Have fun!
