Repeated, Wraparound Paragraph Structure - Sometimes writers will construct a very sophisticated text in which a long series of paragraphs (sometimes the whole text) is structured repeatedly in the same exact way.  Sometimes authors may use a similar wraparound structure for paragraphs in which a beginning and an ending sentence, the first a statement, the last a clarification of that statement, wrap themselves around a body of details in the middle sentences (Wondrous Words by Katie Wood Ray).
