   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.
