Chapter 16 Discussion

This chapter starts off discussing how to decide what style to use in your research paper. it suggests figuring this out by reading other works that follow the same topic that you are writing about. do not over word things or people will find it too complicated to read, and wont read it. Avoid using unnecessary words that take up space. Do not use unnecessary introductory phrases. use active and passive voice correctly. decide your consistent point of view and stick to it. you cannot use I in your research paper. Use specialized language when necessary, do not use jargon if people will not understand or if it is not heavily used in the conversation. you want to keep your paper interesting by changing up your sentence structure and word type. also you want to vary your length of structure and sentence. transition well in your paper and use the right phrases. Avoid sexist language, which is something that will be important for my paper because it is on gay rights and unions. Reading on your topic will help you expand.
