What's the point in what you're saying? Do you even know if there is a point to it? Or are you content to exist in pointlessness?
Writers are entitled to have their readers at their fingertips, so to say, which makes it extremely important for them to know what their point is. If the writer doesn't know the point then the reader surely won't. When a reader finds a certain screed to be pointless, the writer has lost them forever. At worst, a writer without a point can end up with a confused and perhaps even angry reader.
In order to draw your reader into your article or essay and keep that reader interested all throughout, you need to make your point as clear and obvious as possible.
However knowing your point and making it clear and apparent are sometimes easier said than done. So how does one make his or her point cogent?
Finding your point is as easy as 1-2-3.
First, identify your topic. Take note of that one subject you plan to write about. Come up with just one word or a short phrase related to the subject. To use an unconventional example, let us assume you want to write an article about playing electric guitar. Hence, playing electric guitar is your phrase.
Next, you would want to ask relevant questions about the topic. Using the above example, how can you play electric guitar like the pros? Now turn that question into a statement, such as "You can make potty training easy... " Now you have a point. But in the words of the great Ron Popeil...but wait, there's more!
In the third step, you want that main point to give birth to three supporting points, thus expounding on the topic. While you wouldn't want to make your point too obvious, it has to be obvious and crystal clear - making your point alone won't cut it. There must be something to support your main point. So think of three points you can make to support your point. Using our above given information, these would be learning the scales, learning chord progressions and starting with the basics. Finally, you join your statement with the three points and use a preposition to join the two together. There are a whole lot of prepositions you can choose from when expanding your main point, such as "by" and "because." Try some of these other prepositions depending on the sentence construction - about, before, during, under, and with.
That should pretty much give you a strong first paragraph.
Yes, potty training can be made easy by keeping the pressure low, making it enjoyable and giving the child enough time.
Not only do you have a point that you will be able to make clear and apparent to the reader, but you also have a road map for your article or essay. Simply expand on your introduction and expand on each supporting point in turn and you will have a clear point, good organization, and solid support.
So before you write an article or essay, take some time out to think about your point, as it could only stand to make writing more convenient for you. More importantly, it makes readers' lives much easier. And that is the point of this article.
