In almost every case, an introductory paragraph should consist of more than 3-4 sentences.
Logic follows that body paragraphs should DEFINITELY consist of more than 3-4 sentences.
Thesis statements should be specific, limited, and explicit, which means a thesis should be stated clearly and directly. When you become a reknown author, then you have luxury of being ambiguous, but NOT in English 1101.
Be careful that in disspelling one stereotype, you do not create one--or worse, denigrate someone else.
An outstanding quote that opens an essay needs to be followed up with some development between the quote and the thesis.
