Thus, I am extremely grateful tohave encountered Palahniuk’s genius early in my writing career.Explanation:By using sequential signal words (first, second and third) before the beginning of everysentence, the reader can follow what seems to be the writer’s list of three reasons why the novelinfluenced him.

It consists of thefollowing:Beginning:introduction, thesis statement, hookMiddle:supporting detailsEnd:conclusion, summary, final messageExample:Ancient philosophies believe that a person has an “aura,” this appears as a rainbow of lightaround the body that can be seen by individuals with clairvoyant abilities. The colors changedepending on one’s mood, health, and thoughts. Some scientists believe that the existence ofthe aura has something to do with the electromagnetic fields produced by cells and tissues in thehuman body. Whether auras are real or not, the fact remains that there are forces everywherethat are real even though we cannot see them.Explanation:

However, the text is organized in this way:Beginning: Introduce topic of auraMiddle: Definition and evidence of existence of aurasEnd:Ending message about forces in the worldBy adhering to the structure, the writer can produce a text that is still easy to follow. The topic,supporting details and concluding message is still clear to the reader.TipsText organization makes a text easy to read. It prevents the reader from becoming confusedby a jumble of words, sentences, and paragraphs that are in no particular order.
