A Writer’s Resource

Some of the things that I will take from, A Writers Resource book are learning h0w to structure my personal essays. There are the three main ways to format the personal essay chronological, emphatic, and suspenseful. The chronological is writing in order from the start to the beginning. Empathetic, formats the paper from most important to least important, or visa versa. Suspenseful writing is used to keep the writer hooked and wanting to continue reading. The suspenseful writing doesn’t have an exact method but one example was starting with the end of the story, and telling it from there. I also always thought that as a writer you are supposed to put yourself out of the story and tell it from the third point of view. However, tells the students to use the present tense strategy, this is used to get the writer in the story and allows them to feel as if they are really there. The example that is given in the book really encourages me to want to write in the same form.
