Summary:
After reading chapter thirteen in The Guide and focusing on definition, description, classifications, compare & contrast, and writing a narrative I now have better understand of these specific topics. When writing narratives they need to be organized chronologically the beginning to the end of the event and you must have a specific point of view. You must also develop tension then the resolve it. While writing a narrative you must also create visuals for your readers. Writing descriptions you describe, sketch people, places, and things verbally. When you describe someone or something you should name that person or thing and its features. You should use a spatial approach. To describe something spatially you describe it in terms of both its own physical dimensions and its relationship to the objects around it. Incorporating visuals is also important because it helps your audience to see what you are describing. When writing definitions you need to make sure your audience understands the terms you are using. There are different types of definitions you can use such as synonyms, essential definitions, and extended definitions. It is important to use visuals and analogies to compare your writing.

Reaction:
My reaction to this reading was it was very informative and will help me to write my two writing to explore papers. It helped me to understand what I need to include when writing these papers to make them effective.

3 Questions:
1. When writing a narrative is there a specific kind of visual you should use?
2. How do you know what kind of visual to use for each specific topic?
3. What is the difference between these specific topics?
