Writing Approach
Determine exactly what point you are going to make and write it down in precise terms. Remember, you are
going to be writing about the causes that lead up to a specific event or situation. Think about why you want to
make this point. Develop a thesis statement. Then choose examples and details that count for something,
those that move the reader toward some goal. Your details about the events that take place should ultimately
lead up to the effect or the end result.
