ch. 6 :)

Chapter 6 to me was actually a good refresher to writing an essay. It talked a lot about how to grab the readers attention, setting the tone and thesis statements. Reading chapter 6 around this time is helpful because, I actually planned on doing my second draft for the first writing project for this class. So this chapter really refreshed my memory as to some different writing techniques. Out of all the chapters that I have read out of Ball Point so far this by far has been the most resourceful. I feel like I am a pretty good writer but some of the things mentioned in chapter 6 made me realize some things that I actually could fix to improve my writing. Such as how to change paragraphs. Sometimes I find myself leaving a paragraph and jumping to the next without some kind of lead. I just stop one topic and go to the next. Chapter 6 really pointed out some good ways to paragraph things.

  2. I'm a little confused. This chapter didn't focus on paragraphs or transitions...
