Essay Outline

The way an essay is formatted is very important for both the author and the reader. A good outline helps the reader follow the essay more and helps the author present the desired amount of information on the topic. A typical essay follows the format of the intro, the body, and the conclusion. Each part has a specific objective when appealing to an audience and presenting the topic of the essay.

                      When we first read an essay, we are either captivated to read the rest of the essay, or we become unconvinced about continuing. This is the effect the introduction of the essay leaves. The intro must be formatted specifically to attract the audience's attention and motivate them to continue reading. Once the audience decides to move on, the information about the topic must be presented. All of the information about the topic is presented in the body, which must be formatted to contain the same ideas and aspects of the entire topic. The body must have enough information to make the reader feel as if they got their time's worth. After the body has been read and understood, it must be closed with the conclusion. This part sums up everything that has happened so far and ends the essay.

                     

Writing process to date

When I first entered this class, I had little knowledge about the importance on rhetorical tools and staying out of 1st person. These elements I feel bring the most impact to the in writing, in my experience anyway. The fact that attraction of the audience is all based off of rhetorical tools shows how important it is to implement them. Also, certain types of writing require certain types of rhetorical tools, so knowing all kinds of rhetorical is very important so that you can cover all bases.
               Staying out of first person makes it easier to read for the readers. Unless it is more of a personal narrative, 3rd person emphasizes more on the topic and directs everyone's attention towards it. Implementing rhetorical tools to 3rd person is also easier and makes it so your paper doesn't sound all jumbled up.
                These 2 elements I have recognized to be important in writing as a whole. Many people tend to overlook these 2 items and tend to not understand the importance of these elements in their essays.

Methodology

The methods to use when writing an essay depend on certain factors, such as preference, what you're writing about, and especially the audience. When I write my essays, I usually stick to certain rhetorical tools that attract my intended audience. I also use certain tools depending on what kind of essay I am writing. Voice is also a big part of methodology. The way you sound wen you are writing makes a big difference to the audience.If the writer sounds appealing in their writing, that also adds to the attractiveness of the entire essay, which draws an even bigger crowd. Format in an essay is also very important because if an essay is very thorough and contains a lot of information, it can be better understood if it is organized in a proper format. Ultimately, methodology is different for every writer because not all of us have the same intentions when we are writing. It all comes down to the priorities of the writer and what he/she decides to put into their essay.

Process Explanation

When writing and essay, it is key to understand all elements of what you're writing for. The audience you are trying to reach out to is vital to having a successful paper. In order to establish a good essay, you must follow a simple set of steps to keep the basic idea of your paper alive. Here are the steps that help authors make a successful essay.
          - Understand your topic. Many writers begin their essay with the basic knowledge they need of what they are going to talk about, but then drift off because they lack a good understanding. When writing to appeal to an audience, you want to let the people know as much as you know so that they can reach the same understanding as you. This can't be achieved successfully if the author has little to nothing to reflect upon the audience about the subject.
         - Make a connection with the audience. When writing about your topic, you have to include all of the known information in order to establish a link with your audience. If the audience remains clueless to what the author is getting at, the entire essay is no different than unorganized words on a paper. Make sure that the audience is interested, educated, and even opinionated in/about your topic so that it can draw success. If your information is correct and you know what you're talking about, it will draw a wealthy crowd.
                   * Be Professional. It is important to have exceptional grammar and a good vocabulary that can                               help attract an audience base. When you write a paper, understand that everyone can read it, so you want to write fluently and understandably for everyone.
                   * Write for your audience. Since the audience is key, you should wrap your ideas around the way they will see then. If the audience is confused about how you are writing, they can't establish a good connection.
            - Evaluate yourself. Once people have read what you are capable of, reflect upon it. Evaluate the things you have done in your writing and use criticism to help you write even better. Bestsellers and Top Editors didn't get where they are today without hitting a few snags. Use every bit of help you can get in order to progress your writing skills.
               These basic steps are used to help writers understand what their goals should as well as what to do when writing an essay.
