Chapter 9 Reflection

Chapter 9 is an important chapter because it talks about graphs. Throughout the chapter it discusses all the different types of graphs from line graphs to pie charts. I'm more of a visual thinker so I like reading graphs. I enjoy graphs because its a simpler way of discussing a topic than writing down the information. Graphs help you understand the information better. Also, graphs are a great way to visually compare and contrast information.

Chapter 8 Reflection

After reading chapter 8, I learned that all writers use the thought pattern to accomplish their stories. There are six patterns that writers use and show how to recognize them: illustration, definition, comparison/contrast, cause/effect, classification and chronological order. When using these six thought patterns, it gives you plenty of ideas to write about and helps you organize it. Good writers can utilize these ideas and transform it into their writings because people can understand it well. These patterns will help me in the future when it comes to writing.
