Rules for Writers ch. 4

     In chapter four it focuses on paragraph development and different patterns of organization. In order to have a effective and clear essay you want to start your paragraphs with a good topic sentences and you want the following sentences to stick to that main point. Developing the main point is crucial to persuading your reader to think about your topic in such a way that you alter their process of thought.

     The other part of chapter four explains the use of different patterns of organization. There are quite a few but my favorite is description. Descriptive words really stimulate the brain and can even give you vivid images in your mind or activate your other senses. I would like to use other patterns though because I'm comfortable with descriptive essays so I think I should try a different pattern once in a while so I can activate my brain so I can learn something new and very useful. A analytical essay seems to be the biggest challenge for me.
