Paragraph list

Over the years, countless photos of the majestic park have been snapped, and many of those have become part of the park’s official archive, spanning over a century.
In 1997 Lisa McKeon, a physical scientist with the United States Geological Survey who works in the park, came across a pair of historic photographs depicting the glaciers she studies.
The Repeat Photography Project was born.
It was a lightbulb moment: Why not use the old photos to create a timeline of the morphing glaciers, and add new photos every year?

First sentence: Why this is the first line? This paragraph is the first line because it introduces the main topic. It tells us about Lisa McKeon and her discovery of historic photographs. This is an important start because it sets the scene for the rest of the text. It does not use any words that need prior context, so it is clear and independent. Why other lines are not chosen? The other paragraphs are not chosen because they do not stand alone. For example, Paragraph 2 starts with 'Over the years,' which connects it to previous information. Paragraph 3 starts with 'It was a lightbulb moment,' which needs context from earlier sentences. Paragraph 4 starts with 'The Repeat Photography Project was born,' which also needs earlier information to make sense.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last line because it concludes the text. It tells us the result of the ideas presented earlier. The phrase 'The Repeat Photography Project was born' shows the final outcome of the discussion about using old photos. This wraps up the main theme of the text.

Paragraph pairs:

  • Pair 1 (Paragraph 1 → Paragraph 2): Paragraph 2 connects to Paragraph 1 because it gives more background about the photos. The first paragraph talks about Lisa's discovery, and the second paragraph explains that many photos have been taken over the years. This shows a logical order of ideas.
  • Pair 2 (Paragraph 2 → Paragraph 3): Paragraph 3 connects to Paragraph 2 because it shows a new idea that comes from the information in the second paragraph. The second paragraph talks about the old photos, and the third paragraph suggests a new way to use those photos. This is a clear logical order.
  • Pair 3 (Paragraph 3 → Paragraph 4): Paragraph 4 connects to Paragraph 3 because it tells us what happened after the idea in the third paragraph. The third paragraph talks about the idea of using old photos, and the fourth paragraph tells us that this idea led to the creation of the Repeat Photography Project. This shows a clear progression of thought.
