Hello, and welcome to strategy three in the second section, the second section covers structures and paragraphs. And it builds on what we were talking about in the last section. And in the last two strategies strategy, one was words and strategy two was sentences. And now we're building from those more brass tacks, smaller structures and components into what those become, where words become sentences and sentences become paragraphs and paragraphs become overall structures. And structure is a looser term that's used in a way. That is anything that's not a paragraph or any combination of paragraphs.

So strategy three is structures. And strategy three, says pace in order words and sentences for appropriate emphasis. Notice that we're still talking about words and sentences, but we're talking Talking about how they're used overall as a whole when you put them together in their effect, they're an explanation of strategy three, use word order incentives pace to impact emphasis, mood and flow of ideas. Your word order does influence the emphasis in the mood and the flow of your ideas as does the sentence pace. The Senate's pace can have a different influence on emotions on emphasis on what you're trying to make the reader get out of that particular situation. And so, pace an order your words for appropriate emphasis.

Now, there are four techniques that go along with strategy three, technique one is the first and that one states to very links for appropriate pace and float, very Senate's links for appropriate pace and flow. The explanation here is to vary sentence leads links for increased effect may short, medium and long sentences to create a lyrical flow. In most cases, it's appropriate to mix some short and simple sentences in with some longer compound complex and compound complex sentences. It creates a nice organic flow. As a writing instructor. I've seen students that use both extremes, they might have used a lot of short choppy sentences, short, choppy sentences, and it just had this.

It was just a pace about it that was hard to follow because it was just choppy. And the technique wasn't natural. And so it didn't have that nice flow to it that was organic and natural. Likewise, I've also had students that would have these long tangled sentences that were hard to follow. And so sometimes you would get lost in the thought and forget where you began. And so sometimes those can be hard to follow as well.

So it just depends on the situation. But in most cases, you want to vary your sentence lengths. Make sense? Some short sentences with some long ones. Think about what you're trying to say and how you're trying to break it up. Where do you need to have a pause, or a breath in the ideas where you need some kind of break in them.

That's where you would want to include Senate's breaks and or breaks within a sentence. For example, commas with coordinating conjunctions, or semi colons or dashes, which we'll get into those later. So strategy three is to place an order words and sentences for appropriate emphasis. And that emphasis is both in terms of what you want to be emphatic what you want to stand out in the Senate for your reader, but also the emotional effect and the just rhythm of it sentences have a flow and a rhythm to them. And then when there's that nice organic mixture of sentences, it has that lyrical quality that we're talking about. An explanation here are actually an example.

Um, this memoir, here There's a passage from it, and it very senate says to create the right pace, emotion in flow. Something that stands on its own is for emphasis, or it has more of a terse quality to it. And then some of the longer ones are more for like a meandering, slower pace where you're trying to emphasize more complex thoughts or, or concepts we wrote to town in the afternoon when mom granddaddy finished gathering and sorting eggs. We went to the grocery store we're high pitched elevator music played as I kicked my legs on the buggies metal grates are ran up and down the cold white floors, tugging at malls bell bottoms. When we arrived at checkout, I let the conveyor belt got glide under my hand, but this one started and stopped. Unlike the one mon green data used to sort x after the grocery store.

I always begged to eat it Captain D's they always humored me. The same elevator music played as I pretended to skate on icy floors. I thought the best room was a waiting room with more cold air and elevator music like the previous rooms, our food arrived, I put ketchup on everything. Now the just to reiterate, there are certain things were used for emphasis. And so they stood on their own in a shorter sentence, something that is used for urgency, emphasis, speed. Those are the things that you want in simple sentences, things that are more meandering things that are more experiential, those are more drawn out.

Those are the ones that you want to use with the longer sentences or in some cases, the more medium link sentences. So make sure that you very sentence links for appropriate pace and flow and that is technique one of strategy three structures
