Generador de párrafos al azar

¿Por qué usamos párrafos?

Un párrafo es una unidad autónoma de un discurso por escrito que trata un punto o idea en particular. Un párrafo consta de una o más oraciones. Aunque no es requerido por la sintaxis de ningún idioma, los párrafos suelen ser una parte esperada de la escritura formal, utilizada para organizar la prosa más larga.

El propósito de un párrafo es expresar la idea controladora de un orador o escritor y apoyarla con detalles. La mayoría de los párrafos de un ensayo tienen una estructura de tres partes: introducción, cuerpo y conclusión.

La introducción (primera oración) establece el escenario para lo que sigue y establece el punto principal. El cuerpo (oraciones 2-4) desarrolla ese punto con detalles y explicaciones de apoyo. La conclusión (última oración) reafirma el punto principal o resume lo que se ha dicho.

Una historia de párrafos en el lenguaje

La creación de párrafos, que son un componente esencial del texto y la comunicación, se puede encontrar en la antigüedad. La escritura en tiempos clásicos típicamente consistía en puntos o párrafos que separaban el texto en secciones más pequeñas. El escritor pudo concentrarse en una idea a la vez porque este diseño en particular tenía la capacidad de interrumpir el flujo del pensamiento. Este uso de párrafos aparece por primera vez en los escritos de historiadores griegos como Heródoto a mediados del siglo V a. En sus historias, Heródoto dividió los eventos en párrafos para que fueran más fáciles de recordar y conectar. Su compañero de clase, el historiador Tucídides (siglo V aC), utilizó párrafos para organizar su trabajo de manera similar a Hermanotus. La historia del párrafo se puede seguir desde la cultura grecorromana en Europa hasta el Medio Oriente y la civilización occidental. Hay evidencia de que los Salmos fueron divididos en párrafos en la Biblia hebrea. La punción también fue utilizada por los poetas árabes para separar las estrofas en sus obras. El Corán, que puede haber sido la primera escritura en usar párrafos en la época medieval, es un ejemplo del mundo árabe. Los párrafos primero aparecen en inglés escrito en el mundo Occidental, en particular en manuscritos a partir de los 13ros y 14tos siglos. Las hendiduras e incluso pequeños dibujos fueron utilizados por los escritores de la época para dividir sus obras en secciones. A la hora del Renacimiento, más escritores usaban párrafos en su escritura, y el estilo de la hendidura se hizo más consecuente. La tradición epistolar, que se centraba en piezas comunicativas divididas en párrafos más cortos y alternos, surgió durante el siglo XVI. El primer párrafo "moderno" apareció a mediados del siglo XVII. William Shakespeare y Christopher Marlowe hicieron uso de la estructura de párrafos que conocemos hoy en día. El texto fue dividido en secciones por este arreglo directo, haciendo la comunicación más simple y más eficiente. William Mitchell, contemporáneo de Shakespeare, publicó una colección de obras sobre la estructura y el diseño del párrafo moderno, perfeccionando su uso y estilo. Ciertos componentes del párrafo se han añadido o eliminado con el tiempo. Por ejemplo, algunos textos ahora se basan en enlaces incrustados e imágenes que anteriormente se consideraban innecesarias. Sin embargo, la base del párrafo sigue siendo la misma: una sección de texto que está separada de otra por puntuación o formato, lo que permite al autor concentrarse en una idea a la vez sin ser interrumpido.

• On the shores of the swamp, two teenagers fell in love during the twilight of an autumn night. He kicked off his shoes and rolled up his pants
• she slid from her sandals and held the hem of her dress in her right hand. There were grimy jars underneath the back steps of the house. He unscrewed the lids and handed her one. She let go of the hem of her dress, and they waded into the water together. Dashing through the shallows, they caught an odd dozen of fireflies. After releasing their catch, he brushed a stray hair behind her ear and kissed her for the first time. | © Laura Konrad
• During the day my father had the appetite of an elderly woman. A single poached egg and a bit of dry toast for breakfast. Lunch, a sliced tomato with a dollop of tuna fish. Later, a monk’s dinner, boiled chicken and stringy broccoli spears. But Pop’s diet belied his physique

• The elementalist had ruled the land for decades now, keeping his subordinates clenched tightly in his iron fist. He was the greatest, and last, sorcerer in the land, he had made sure of that. As a master of the elements, fear was his tactic, magic his weapon. On some days he would be benevolent, and bless his skinny farmers with a flow of rich waters to nourish the land. On others, he would send all-destroying hurricanes, fill the fields with rocks that attacked anyone who tried to remove them or simply send an inferno that incinerated entire harvests. Yes, his people lived in fear. | © Martin Hooijmans
• Ellie retired today. She was eight and a half. She and Anna had known each other since they were both one week old. Ellie, an elephant head, was attached to the middle of a small blanket, about fifteen inches square. The blanket was pink, hemmed in green satin which Anna loved to stroke with her fingers while she sucked her thumb. Ellie covered Anna’s face when she didn’t want to be seen at all. Anna could not sleep without Ellie and carried her as she was crawling and, later, when she started to walk. Ellie traveled in the car, to restaurants, to birthday parties and Phillies games. Once the family forgot Ellie on a road trip and Anna’s dad had to turn around and pick her up or no one would be sleeping much at all. Ellie did not attend first or second grade though. She waited quietly on Anna’s bed until nightfall. | © Marian Brooks
• The forest was filled with the sounds of machines. Rough men with chainsaws and loading trucks dominated the area, cutting down the mass of pine trees that stretched out for miles. One exquisitely great tree, the one they called ‘Lone Pine’, overlooked it all with a mixture of pride and sorrow. Pride, for he was the biggest tree, the master of all, the one left alone to grow stronger each year. Sorrow, for all his companions were taken away every time winter showed its snowy head. Of course they were replaced by new ones, but after years and years the giant tree did not bother getting too close to any of them anymore. Instead, he had become an advisor and leader to the other trees, using his size and the strength of his roots to impress. One time, a lady pine had been so amazed that she had dropped all her needles in awe. Now that was a tale worth telling to the young ones! | © Martin Hooijmans
• Mud Boy splashed through the puddles and sloshed through the mud, then launched himself onto the soggy turf. The field was so rutted from dog play that he didn’t slide but stuck in place—his face submerged in two inches of water, his loins in cold mud. Mud Boy’s mother laughed nervously, for people were watching. Mud Boy smiled up with a wet clump of grass sticking out of his mouth. His mom smiled down at him. “You look like those dinos eating in our book.” | © Jon Sindell
• Early in the morning, Wallace, Meg’s husband, went up a ladder to the rooftop to remove a bird’s nest clogging the rain spout. Later he jimmied off the wooden frame hanging over the basement door, which took some time. The wood was rotting and rainwater was seeping into the basement’s walls and onto the floor. Meg stayed at her piano. Wallace passed her in her piano room as he left the house an hour later, calling out, “I’m going to Home Depot to buy caulk.” He came directly home fifteen minutes later and caulked the gaps he’d made where he’d removed the door frame. | © Lisa Weiss
• It’s amazing what one notices, when one finds out their time for noticing is coming to an end. Like you have spent your entire life walking around with your eyes shaded by a translucent curtain, and then one day, they are reopened like a shot of adrenaline straight to the heart. I wonder if we ever truly see things, even as a child. Like a new born seeing its mother’s breast for the first time. No, I don’t think we ever really care to see anything for what it truly is, until our eyes are awakened by the foresight of never seeing anything again. I think a man born without sight sees more with one simple touch of the hand then we do our entire lives. Sure, I suppose we see a lot, but do we ever stop to realize what we’re seeing? To let it sink in to our over developed alien brains? I think not. We are too busy rushing to our early graves to stop and “listen” to what we are actually seeing. | © Billy Mundane
