This is an example that I've talked about in class today about a NOT so good/solid body paragraph:
Body paragraphs need to to have a solid topic sentence: and the paragraph needs to be talking about that one point only. This is why we have multiple body paragraphs in an essay to address more than one point IN DETAIL.
