Why is a paragraph like a square in a patchwork quilt?

Answer 1

A paragraph is like a square in a patchwork quilt because a paragraph, just like a square in a patchwork quilt, must complement, support, and work with all the other paragraphs (or squares) to create a story, to create an idea, to create an emotion, or to create a setting. A paragraph is a part of a greater whole, and as a square in a patchwork quilt is just one part, one square, that makes up a later square, a larger idea, and a larger pattern, a paragraph is just one part of something better, something greater, such as an essay, or even a novel.
