“The College Writer” - Chapter 16 Definition - Summary
This chapter is all about how to write an essay on a word. I never knew that you could write an entire essay on just one word, so this chapter was interesting to read. In reading Understanding Dementia, I got a clear picture of how to outline and write an essay to better help a reader understand a word. When writing an essay on a definition of a word, it can help to bring in personal experience like the author did in Understanding Dementia. I think personal experience adds a deeper level of understanding to the reader. I also learned and believe that bringing in etymology, expert research, statistics, and supporting details help the reader to understand the word/ definition of a word better. I think when writing this type of an essay, it is extremely important that the essay is written clearly. You want to make sure whatever you are trying to write about, that the reader completely understands that meaning when they are done reading your essay.
