Writing A Well-Plane Out Analysis

Orhan Pamuk once said, “The writer's secret is not inspiration - for it is never clear where it comes from - it is his stubbornness, his patience.” The writer’s general purpose is to determine the expertise that he wants to apply in his writing. The writer’s purpose and organization of writing is to persuade, entertain, inform, and draws the reader’s attention to the information. In the same way, the readers’ goals are reading the content, of seeking information, and increasing knowledge through reading. In these three articles, the authors have specific purpose and discipline the specific futures, and the reader's goal is to collect the noteworthy information. The first article, “The Nature of

In the article “Everything You Need to Know About Writing Successfully – in Ten Minutes” by Stephen King, he lists out the rules he believes you should follow in order to be a successful writer. I’m already on my way to success; rule number 12, if it’s bad kill it. This just happens to be my second attempt writing this assignment. If you feel like your writing is just getting no where you should start over again. This is me starting over again. In fact, I probably spend more time trying to write an introduction than I do writing the paper itself. I get a few ideas out then feel as if I didn’t get the points across that I’m aiming for so I kill my paper and start again. In this paper I will continue to explain why I feel like I relate to this article.

Author's have three main purposes in writing to persuade, inform and to entertain. The author uses text structures to explain his or her purpose.

After reading these three chapters, I found they were really helpful for writing research papers. Specifically, the biggest take away from these chapters was section 16.2 Step 1: Establish Common Ground. (p. 235-237) Establishing common ground usually is a key to persuade others to continue reading the paper. It is like a window of my paper because if I could not write a good beginning then probably no one would like to continue to read my paper. Therefore, I believe that the introduction of the papers play an really important role in the paper.

Introduce my topic get the readers attention by starting the essay with a good catching attention getter, and follow through with background information about the topic

In the fourth chapter of Writing in College, Joseph Williams and Lawrence McEnerney recommend final revisions to make in a paper. Firstly, Williams and McEnerney describe how to polish the introduction and conclusion. The introduction should present “something . . . puzzling, not entirely understood, perhaps overlooked, not noticed, undervalued” (21). An introduction should not directly respond to the assignment in an obvious manner, but instead advance a thoughtful question or new information. Williams and McEnerney also suggest, “Try to find a quotation in the text that you can say inspired your question or raises your problem” to begin the introduction (22). A quote can generate interest and can provide the basis for an argument. A conclusion

When it comes to research papers I found myself always struggling to get started especially with the introduction. This is sometimes most difficult because I always feel the need to want to make my introduction explosive. Starting off strong is what sets the tone for the rest of the paper. This can be challenging since some introductions can span over a page long depending on the length of the writing criteria. You made a great point with stating how the ability to articulate can allow for one to not only express but support their views with agreeing evidence. This is something that takes practice along with trying different strategies to help with being an effective scholarly

I normally begin an essay by brainstorming ideas and writing them down via bullet list. Once I feel confident that I have enough information, I create my draft. After completing my draft, I then revise my essay; I try to have someone else read it to get a second opinion. Lastly, I edit my essay, revise it once more, and then I submit it. While writing an essay, I find it most difficult to write an introduction paragraph. I always want to grab the reader’s attention, but I have a hard time coming up with a creative way to do so. As a solution, I research examples of what others have used in past essays in hopes of a light-bulb moment. In contrast, I believe the easiest part of writing for me is the revising and editing. One thing I find useful when revising is to have my computer read my essay out loud, so I can here if it sounds like a well written essay. If I remain determine to learn and work hard throughout this semester I believe I can be successful in this class and improve my writing skills for the

Starting a piece of writing has always been tough for me. There are times when I have spent an hour trying to figure out how I should start my writing. Now that's partly because of procrastination but main due to the fact that the intro to any piece is writing, in my opinion, is the most important aspect of any form of writing.

Chapter five begins by exploring the purpose of writing and how audiences are meant to perceive different types of writing. The textbook explains that every type of writing has a purpose claiming, “We write to explore our thoughts and emotions, to express ourselves, to entertain; we write to record words and events, to communicate with others, to try to persuade others to believe as we do or to behave in certain ways” (55). Clearly there are many different purposes to writing and sometimes multiple purposes can be used in a single piece of writing. Before starting to write a paper a good thing to do is ask what purpose is being used in the paper, so that it is easier to accomplish that purpose within a piece of writing. This chapter will be helpful in the future because it provides a good explanation on how to use different purposes to try to accomplish different things inside of a paper.

Prewriting- see what your audience is so you written appropriately for that audience. Use the right words and tone.

Some students find the introduction and the thesis statement to be the most difficult part of writing a Signature Assignment paper. However, the topic usually expresses an individual thought or curiosity to look deeper into finding additional information (O’Collins, 2011). Nevertheless, the introduction should capture the attention of the reader and capture their attention. For example, the first sentence in this paragraph focused on sharing the feelings of classmates on the upcoming assignment by indicating that the statement is the difficult part of writing. Creating an outline will also create a guide as to what topics will be discussed in the paper. The introduction and thesis statement should clearly state the point the writer is taking

Using words for a purpose is of utmost importance, because without a reason, words mean nothing. Dr. Mohler in “The Leader as Writer” tells us that effective writers “will learn to use words as arrows fired from a bow, carefully chosen and aimed in order to accomplish a purpose.” Finding the right words to express the purpose of the paper is crucial in writing. If we fall short in doing that, we have failed at presenting the goal of the paper. It is papers with purpose that inspire people to do things- become a missionary, build a house, or travel the world. If writer’s do not accomplish this important step, the rest of the paper is meaningless.

As the class progress, I noticed that each new unit is dependent on the older units. In other words, without totally understanding the content of previous unit, there is a huge possibility of failure if a paper from the next unit was written. There are 6 main units in the Writing Express class. The first unit focused on self-introduction. It has no lecture involved, but there are multiple chances in the future units to adjust and beautify the introduction in other to become a perfect professional biography. Unit 2 had a lecture section with two research papers as a source of example. This unit broadly focused on what an author should consider before starting a paper. This made me think of how I want convey my paper's information to my readers. My thoughts include, "is my paper trying to explain, describe or narrate something to the readers?" and "who are these readers?". Therefore, this unit helped me understand how to decide on my paper's writing style.

An author’s purpose is his or her primary reason for writing a text. This is important for engaging the reader into a suspenseful mood, or building their curiosity to find out what’s next. A couple of ways is to inform and explain a topic to readers by providing facts of data, to entertain and engage readers with a vivid narrative, and to persuade and convince readers to take a certain or support and idea. H.G. Well greatly uses these and in turn made a very engaging novel.
