Strategies for Development

Strategies for development are something that we can never talk too much about. As a writer, we are always looking to develop our ideas and learn new ways on how to become a better writer. Strategies such as using examples, defining important things, comparing and contrasting two or more subjects, and giving a cause and/or effect of why we think the way we do. Just naming a few, our textbook goes into further detail, we can clearly see the main point of these strategies right from the beginning; to make us better writers and to go into more detail. Writing is something that a lot of people struggle succeeding in, and developing on our writing is something that every writer looks to do on a daily basis. Using specific examples and defining things that may come across as unclear to some are two very good ways to develop a paper. The reader cannot argue with the point you are trying to make, or disagree, if you use specific facts and site them appropriately. Also, when some things become unclear many people will begin to turn away from your paper if the confusing parts of them are not correctly defined. When writing about topics that you have your own opinion on, and at times can be controversial, it is important to clearly state what you think something means and what your stand on it is. Two other ways we can develop our papers, and writing, include comparing and contrasting things, as well as showing the true cause and effect. These two strategies allow us to further develop our ideas and give the reader a little more detail on the subject at hand. When showing the similarities two things have, it often makes it easier on the reader to clearly understand the difference of the two. Development in writing is something we constantly look to improve on, and using some of the techniques are book gives us can be successful ways for us to do this.
