Transformation of a Paragraph

Though never really viewed editing a paragraph this way before, I do now. I view editing a paragraph in like performing a surgery. You look at it as a whole and then try to pick it a part for the benefit of a paper. Does the whole paragraph work to present a point and if it does not what can you do to fix it? By taking the sentences out of the paragraph that do not help argue your point, should be taken out. The words in those sentences should come together to form a strong sentence. If they do not then they need to be revised. All of the components need to work for it to be a strong paragraph like a body.
