What is Unity?

         Unity is there an idea in a paragrap that focuses on the main topic or a paragraph that discusses one idea and the beginning of the paragraph to the end of the paragraph.

The point is unity between paragraphs that talk about a common idea.

        Coherence is the cohesiveness or connectedness between sentences that flows smoothly and logically from one sentence to the next that supports the purpose of the paragrap. The last sentence on the paragrap should relate to the main topic discussed by reviewing the evidence that restates. In this paragraph we often use conjunctions.
