This chapter, to me, was about getting the bulk of an essay done. It was titled:"Building Effective paragraphs", and its purpose was to help us figuring out how to bulk up an essay more. It also talks about sticking to the main point and not staying off topic when writing paragraphs. This is something that is very important to think about when you think your paragraph is too short and you want to fill up more writing space. Its not good to write things surrounding the topic, but still doesn't really fit the thesis, or idea. MAking sure that your paragraph follows the pattern your trying to portray when talking about your thesis. IF you already said something don't repeat it in other words.Topic sentences are also important in this chapter. It is the statement within your paragraph that summarizes the paragraph. It's almost like an introduction to the details that follow in your paragraph. There is other material that could go into paragraphs that this chapter follows with including: Analogies, comparisons, and causes and effects. These tools help give out the meaning of your essay, and help explain your thesis whether its a persuasive essay or just a normal essay.
I will use topic sentences and follow the pattern of my essay to better organize my thoughts when writing. Topic sentences I think are very important. If your writing a paragraph, and it happens to start going off topic, a topic sentence is a good format to follow. It helps get me back on track to what Im writing.
