Rules for writers chapter 4:

In this chapter we reflect on buliding effective paragraphs. We first start by stating that we need to foucus on the main point, it sound be clear and have readers able to relate. The main poin should be in our topic sentence. Our topic sentence should be supported by the whole essay so it comes together equaly. A good feature about writing an essay is that short paragraphs are good if they state your point nice and clear but to the visual eye short paragraphs dont hold a readers attention like long ones do. You have to remeber to be organized at all times and so you have to pick one narration. You need to have a process and analogy.A process is a stucture in chronologic order. A analogy is a comparasson between items that are in common so you can start a new paragraph relating to the last.
Furthermore make sure you compare and contrast, draw attention to similarites in your writing. Make your paragraphs coherent, you need to have your sentences flow so the reader will follow you. You can do this by stenghening ties between old information and new. Also repeat key words so the reader know what you are tying to direct.Overall rule is to maintain consistency so the reader will know what you are trying to direct towards them and they willingly want to follow your story.
This chapter i learned how to structure and stong paragraph and it broke it down for me in key parts to think about in my writing. I think for me the most important part it to tie everything together and compare and contrast. I get lost in my writing and i forget what i started with.
