Document Summary
Each goal can be attained by a specific structure and technique. Here are the major forms, which are called modes and sometimes schemata. - note that both paragraphs and essays use these modes. - to develop a short essay, try to use more than one mode. An analysis essay might start with a personal anecdote to catch reader interest (narrative). It might then tell about the history of an event (also narrative). Specific terms might have to be defined so the reader will know the vocabulary and meanings. An object or place have to be described, a process explained. And a paragraph essay might explain why something happened (cause/effect analysis). The conclusion might try to persuade the reader that something must be done (persuasion). -usually, the modes will emerge naturally as you need them.
