Rules for Writers Summary Chapter 4

Chapter four explains how to build paragraphs that are well developed, organized, and not to short or long. Focus of the paragraph is the main point and stating so in a topic sentence which the text says is a "one sentence summary of the paragraph". Topic sentences may come first in the paragraph, later as a transition from one paragraph to another or at the end. In addition chapter four shows how to develop the main point and provide the reader with evidence to convince. Consistencey is key so not to stray from one point of view to another and keeping in mind that your topic should resonate throughout the paper.
Number 4d, page 5o outlines several key points to keep in mind as a writer which will be very helpful to use as a reference. These key points are; linking ideas from paragraph to paragraph, using keywords, making the paragraph coherant and consistant. These points will help in building a foundation for writing essays in our class.
I know these points will work well for me. I seem to have great ideas but fail on delivering them in detail. Even though I seem to have given all the information I need to engage the reader I leave something out. This chapter will help me a great deal in developing my paragraphs and elaborating on information I give.
