Everyone Respects the Chameleon that can Write

                Adapting your writing style to suit the taste and needs of your audience is maybe the most important skill a writer can develop. The ability to change the style you are writing in, like words you would use or vernaculars you would use without changing the overall message of your piece. I am not saying that there are not many important elements to writing, but as in sales, the most important thing is advertising. No matter how great the product is, no one is going to buy it if no one knows about it.

                The thesis statement of a paper or essay has a huge impact on how well an audience will receive the point you are trying to make. First of all, you cannot know which direction to travel in without a map. This is what your thesis statement acts as. It gives your writing direction and helps put ou and your audience on the same page as it were.

                Know it is important that once you and your audience knows the general direction, you need to more clearly define you path. Using your main point in the opening paragraph narrows the subject even further. Once your point is established, you must give evidence that your point is at least valid and people should continue, maybe try to relate the subject to a simpler version, like in a metaphor. Finally once you have your audience, you can begin to explain your point.
