When a writer begins to write it is important to determine his patterns of development that are most effective for your purpose and audience. First, One of the patterns that a writer should have is a “Description” which is a part of supporting details that give information about the detailed main idea. The author’s purpose in developing the main idea through descriptive detail is to help you visualize a person, object, or event. Second is, “Exemplification” is another part of supporting details to give a more clear understanding of the meaning of a statement when you are given an example or reason.

The third is, “Sequence of the event” which is the order in which the events in the topic occur. It is the orders in which ideas appear in a topic that help the reader understand the topic. For example, imagine reading an article or newspaper that is out of order. Or try following a recipe that does not tell you when to complete each step. The sequence in a topic is important to the reader’s comprehension. It is important to determine how a passage is organized. The ordering of events in a topic or passage helps you understand how one action or event relates to another.

Fourth is, “Narration” the story is “narrated” or recounted by a storyteller. Every narrative has literary elements, including characters, setting, and plot events that tell the story. A good narrative is a tightly woven blend of literary elements that interact with one another to produce a reaction-such as fear, shock, intrigue, or joy from the reader.

Another pattern in effective writing is “Process” which is a document that frequently contains topic features that help readers follow them. All writing has a tone, The tone of a written passage is much like the tone of a voice that a speaker conveys. The author chooses their words in order to transmit a tone to the reader. The tone is essential; a writer always begins writing with a purpose.
