Tools that have had a big impact on me in the writing process include rhetorical tools, compare and contrast, definition, visual, rhetorical triangle, classification and division,ethos, logos, pathos and imagery. Their are lots of tools that have had an impact on me and these are only some of them. A couple tools that have stood out to me the most are classification and division. Classification helps the writer connect with the audience by identifying main points. Division is also very useful in the writing process because it helps the audience more fully understand the different aspects of each idea demonstrated throughout the essay. Combining classification and division helps the audience get a fuller view of the main ideas in detail and helps the audience to understand why they are important.
Another tool that has had a very big impact on me is ethos, logos and pathos. These different appeals you as a writer give your audience different perspectives. This can help you to connect with your audience and provide them with a different view on your ideas. Ethos, logos and pathos helps you to persuade your audience to think in the way you are thinking. They are very powerful, and very useful in the writing process. The most important thing is that you understand who your audience is and know what tools to use to connect with your audience.

In the process of a writing an essay many methods are essential to tie main points together, and to make a paper transition well and flow smoothly. First as I have discussed in earlier blogs the information dump is an essential first part of writing an essay. This is the easiest way to see what information you have to work with. Next a writer must formulate the conclusion, to see what points need to be outlined in the body paragraphs. And last you write your introduction. It is important to write the intro last because the introduction is usually the hardest part to write. By writing your conclusion and body paragraphs first this allows you to just introduce what you have talked about in your essay.
Using these methods to write an essay is a great way to get your essay structured in an easy and effective manner. It turns a long writing process into a fast more effective one. After you have done these four steps you can add in the rhetorical tools, and other effective devices to connect with your audience. Revising is essential in the writing process. Read over the essay several times yourself to keep improving it and also have other people read over it to get different points of view, and good feedback. The essay is usually 3-4 pages depending on what your professor requires. Have confidence in yourself and your writing abilities and using these methods in the writing process will save you time and will help you write a better essay faster.

When writing an essay certain steps must be taken in order to create a good, flowing paper. The first step is the information dump. This is where you get all of your information down on paper, or on a document. This part of the writing process is important because it helps you to see all the information that you have to work with at the very beginning. Next comes the conclusion. It is important to write the conclusion second in the writing process because you are summarizing important parts of the essay and identifying the key points. This makes it easier to revise your body paragraphs, and helps you to know what to write in each body paragraph and what points to make. Then lastly comes the introduction. The introduction comes last in the writing process because you are just summarizing what you have just talked about in your essay and pointing out the main points, along with creating a thesis and a good hook to catch the readers attention. Another good practice is to read the paper aloud to yourself, this will make it easier to catch mistakes. Have people read over your paper and give you advice on how you can make it better,Throughout the writing process it is important to read over your paper many times and revise grammatical errors, make sure you have smooth flowing transitions, and try to present your information in an orderly, chronically descending order.

An introduction is the first paragraph in an essay that introduces what your paper is going to be about. It outlines key points that will be discussed throughout your essay. The main purpose of the introduction is to introduce the ideas that you will expand later on in your body paragraphs. Your introduction should also contain a thesis that should either present information or persuade the audience to do something, or think a certain way about something.
In the process of writing an introduction the writer must first come up with a good hook. A hook is the first two sentences in which a writer must present information that grabs the readers attention, and makes them want to continue reading the rest of the essay. The next part of the introduction is introducing the topic, and discussing why it is an important matter, why it is interesting and what the boundaries are. Following introducing the topic is the main points that will be in your body paragraphs. Why they come in that order, and how they connect with the subject of your essay. Last is the thesis statement. This part of the essay is only one sentence and encompasses what your paper is going to be on,

An extended definition is the process an author uses to get a point across and make an argument. To start off the author talks about the overall point they are trying to make, which is the subject of the paper. It is important to find the conversation to which the subject belongs too. Then the author breaks the subject apart into classifications which are the main points in the paper. To keep moving the paper along, the author splits the classifications into divisions which discuss the small important details with good descriptions. This overall process shows the essence of the subject talked about in the paper or article and shows what something is and how it is important now. This style of writing is most commonly found in argumentative essays. It is powerful because the author presents all the information provide evidence to back them up. That way the person arguing back don't have room to say anything that hasn't been said.
