• A formal essay has an opening paragraph that tells the reader what you're going to tell him. It has at least 3 paragraphs to elaborate on what you said in the opening paragraph. Then it has a closing paragraph which summarizes what you've said. A formal essay never uses the words 'I' or 'me' or 'you.'

Kino sighed with satisfaction and that was conversation.” (Steinbeck 585). This shows that they are happy even though they do not talk. Kino and Juana do not need things such as words to express that they are satisfied with the life they have. Another example is when Kino is looking around the brush house and the author says, “He looked at the hanging box where Coyotito slept.

Kino and Juana are happy with just the simple necessities they have....
