writing topic: rules for writers chapter 2
Chapter 2 about the process of writing a rough draft. It takes you step by step on how to develop your ideas or thoughts into an organized essay. The hardest part is the introduction, because it is difficult to introduce a paper that is not written yet. But if you are stuck you can always come up with one after your paper is written. The introduction also includes a thesis, which is a sentence with a central idea and has supporting evidence.
As mentioned in Rules for Writers, the body of the essay develops support for the thesis. Before writing the body, go in with a plan if it doesn’t work out then sketch a new one. Sometimes there is not enough supporting evidence, so you may have to go back to the drawing board.
Once you have developed your main ideas or thoughts, a conclusion will remind your readers the main point to your essay. Make it memorable by including an example, or a quote, and or maybe an image to your intro. In the conclusion, try not to introduce new ideas because this is where you should have tied the essay together.
I think this chapter is very helpful. I know that I tend to get lost writing an essay. The main thing is to go in with a plan, and try not to make it perfect the first time or you will get stuck. At that point go back and make more ideas or plans. It really helped when the chapter gave examples of thesis that would or would not work.
