Response to Chapters 3 and 4, post #2

From my brief, skim-reading of the specified chapters in Pattern for a Purpose, I found the information helpful. I will no doubt have to go back into the text in the next couple of days as the chapters will be helpful in writing my history essay on the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Chapter three discusses the importance of revision in writing. However, it was chapter four's information on the specifics of writing critically that were especially important to my situation. I will refer to this section, as well as the facts contained in chapter three during this week as I begin the pre-writing and first drafts of my essay for history on the book Massacre at Mountain Meadows.
