Here is what you need to do.

The first paragraph is of course the introduction, as you said.

Include a grabber. This is a sentace that gets your readers interested.

Here was my grabber from a paper I did for the book The Outsiders.

(Somthing like this)

Would you ever expect a failing highschool student would be able to write an enourmously famous novel?

That gets you interested, and you are thinking, “No, I wouldn’t, who is this girl?” I’m not trying to brag, just so you know ^_^

Then say somthing along the lines of.

These two men were famous painters during the _____ period. They both contributed alot to the _____ of art. You get my point 🙂

The second one, you have it right again.

Although my paper was 4 pages long, I did this:

Start off with childhood, what was the same, what was different. Here is an example paragraph.

Bob grew up on llamaville Hill, with his bob, and mom. He blah blah blah, and as a child took great interest in blah blah blah. Nicole, on the other hand, badlfkjlkadflkjwlekrew. As they grew older they both went to college, although they both studied different things. Bob studied llamas, and Nicole studied Alpacas. And so on and so forth.

The 3rd paragraph will be summing up everything you said in the 1st and 2nd paragraph. you will say again, These two men were very famous painters, and with out them _____blah.

Hope that helps!

whatever you do don’t make your paragraphs like an entire page just to get your point acrossed that sounds like a run-on. well you could talk about the time period of them painting, what was going on then, techniques, whether they liked to paint people places animals landscapes…etc things like that.
