The writing process requires a triangle effect where an author writes a work, typically something like an essay. Once the essay has been written, it is given to the specific audience which the author has intentionally looked for. These readers then go over the essay and give their feedback to the author, and the author will revise his or her essay based on the feedback that they receive. A lot of times the author will bring in someone who has no biased towards what they have to say, to point out what they got from the paper. This is called an outsider and they just help to show what the common person will get out of the work. This can all happen a couple of times, because the author will need to review and revise their work a couple of times before it is finally ready to be read by everyone.

In writing an essay there has to be a certain way to do so. It is important for the author to make sure that the audience can understand what is going on within the article, to make sure that they retain and understand the information. The author writes a work, which usually has to do with something that is relevant to the general public. After the author has written an essay, it will be read by a specific audience. Once the essay has been read it may be sent back to be revised several times, so that it an be as close to competent as possible. The author will usually write the essay in several parts starting with the body. Once the body has been written it is onto the conclusion, or the last part of the essay, which ties everything together. Lastly, an introduction is created in order to state the authors claim and give a brief overview of what is to be talked about.

It is important to make sure that you pick an audience that is educated in the subject that you are talking about. If you don't teach the audience or they don't already know what the author is saying, interest will be lost when the paper is being read. Also, explaining things in full detail and giving examples helps the audience almost "put a face to a name," or make sure they understand something clearly. Definitions are helpful in the fact that you may know a word, but many people may not, so just throw the definition in their so the reader won't become lost or confused. It is just important to be clear and concise with your reader, give them detail, definitions, and examples but don't go so in depth that it confuses them. Typically the bare minimum will allow the reader to understand a concept, as well as making them want to go more in depth to the paper looking for further evidence that the author may talk about.

An introduction can be one of the most important parts of an essay for an author to use. An introduction states what the author is trying to tell the reader. In an introduction, the reader will find what they need to be looking for during the reading that they will be doing. The introduction needs to have a thesis, which clearly states what the authors point is, and how they feel about the topic they are presenting. In the introduction it can also talk about the rhetorical tools which will be used, in order for the reader to understand the main topics being presented. The author may also justify their arguments and why they are important in this introduction. If used properly, the introduction can make or break an article because it can grab a readers attention or lose it completely.

Classification and Division are tools that allow us to break up ideas and put them into their own sections in order to make more sense of a topic. Classification gives something a name or almost puts it in a category of purpose. Division breaks up the idea and puts it into a category of it's own nature. So classification and division really just take things from the article and put them in sub categories to lay things out in order to ensure the reader knows what they are actually doing. It almost gives the paper a scaffolding or ladder because you have the main part and it just expands with definitions out from that certain definition.
