Readers’ attention?o The title—”Love: The Right Chemistry”o The epigraph quoting Greta Garbo’s
line from the film Ninotchka. o The conversational tone of the essay• Using “O.K.” and “Let’s” rather than
the more formal “let us.”
Focusing the Plan
![Page 18: Class 10 n concept essay](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062823/58798fcc1a28ab95318b5795/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Focusing the PlanWhat She Does What She Does Not Do
• She focuses on certain scientific aspects of romantic love, specifically the evolutionary biology and neurochemistry of love between adult human heterosexual mates.
• By keeping to her focus, she is able to present information that is unfamiliar, and therefore interesting, to her readers.
• Because she wants to emphasize love as a tool to promote reproduction, she does NOT include same-sex love, or nonsexual love between friends and family members
• She does NOT discuss views on love by various religions or cultures.
A logical plan

Introduction of Concept: Paragraph 1: She announces that she is writing about “romantic love,” a concept that she will address with “scientific precision.”
Thesis: Paragraph 2: What seems on the surface to be irrational, intoxicated behavior is in fact part of nature’s master strategy—a vital force that has helped humans survive, thrive, and multiply through thousands of years”
Forecast: In paragraph two: “Love rests firmly on the foundations of evolution, biology, and chemistry.”
Toufexis also uses transitions to let the readers know when she is leaving one topic and going to another: here is the transition from biology to neurochemistry:
