Writing Topic: Rules for Writers chapter 1

        The first chapter of Rules for Writers shows a lot of reasons and ways to plan to write an essay or an analysis and to understand a reading assignment. For example, if you were going to write a research paper, to better understand the assignment, you could try observations and interviews. It's also better to understand why you are writing a research paper. The list in the book has a list of writing purposes like to inform or to persuade.
        It is also good to consider who your audience is. It can help you write your paper and to let your audience better understand what you are writing. I personally like this idea. If I can better understand who my audience is writing can go a lot easier. If i knew my paper would be read by audiences my age I would use analogies in my paper to things that a younger audience would understand. I will definitely use this when writing a research topic or an essay. This book gives many tools to use when trying to plan and express what you want to write. I thought the reading this week was very detailed and had a lot more writing tools than last week. I can definently use all of these to plan what i want to write.
