Writing
as an Exploration
Exploration
literally means a travel in to a region
previously unknown or little known.
The other meaning of exploration is
to look in to examine closely. Writing
as an exploration is either to write
about an area of studies that is unknown
or previously little known to the readers.
Writing as an exploration emphasizes
on writing about new ideas. It is taken
with a wish an argument going beyond
our personal knowledge and experience.
The
writer, before writing, states a problem
and introduces his hypothesis. Keeping
in mind his statement of problem and
hypothesis, the writer starts a journey
of an explorer and accumulates information,
data, knowledge and idea being generally
based on primary research and secondary
research. As a primary researcher, he
relies on the study of a subject through
first hand observation and investigation.
He analyzes literary or historical texts,
conducts a survey or interviews. Whereas
a secondary research he concentrates
on reviewing investigation and analyzing
ideas and opinion of other intellectuals
in a critical and creative manner.
While
writing as an exploration, we must either
invite our reader/ audience to journey
with us or convince them to accept our
answers or solution we have proposed.
For that we have to present ourselves
logical and argumentative as much as
possible with an intention to make the
audience believe what we are saying
or conveying.
Writing
to Record a Memory
We
can record our memories in the form
of a journal or diary. A journal is
written for ourselves that allows us
recording in detail whatever we have
in mind. In journal we can write whatever
we want without worrying about grammar
style or whatever. Journal can be used
for other motive as well like in writing
to discover or in writing to explore
an idea. But in initial phase we should
not think about other purposes rather
we have to write just to record memories
before they lost. Read

Writing
to Convey Information
When
we write to inform we must pay special
attention to the interests and abilities
of the audience to offer the quality
and quantity of information appropriate
to the readers. When we write for general
readers we should not expect them to
understand specialized vocabulary and
advanced concepts. Generally we must
think about how much and what kind of
information we need to give the audience.
In general there are two points to bear
in mind while writing to inform.

purpose of writing to move is to fill

his audience because the audiences already
agree in what the writer believes. The
style must be appropriate in writing
to move; otherwise the writer can not
fulfill his purpose so style is linked
with the effectiveness of the essay.
A writer can write in his or her own
method. Read
