Communication in Writing
When you do your paper, you need to know the basics skills in communication. You need to know how to get your message across to the reader. You cant just write down a lot of sentences about different things and expect your reader to stay interested. What you state in your paper is very important and must be able to be followed up with research or any other information you may have on your particular subject. I found that communication has a very important role in doing your paper. I research then write my notes down and then, when possible, I get a friend to be a subject for me and read my paper out loud for them to listen and tell me if something doesnt sound right. This communication skill lets me make adjustments where needed. It also allows me to improve in places where needed. I want to let my reader what I am writing about in details. They then can look up my references and find out just where I came up with my information. I also include a way for them to contact me if so desired to do so.

You must make sure that you dont loose your readers interest, making sure that he/she wants to keep reading more. Add pictures and graphs about what you are writing. Tell interesting stories about your subject. If you dont have a good communication line, the reader will stray.
When you write with communication, you can tell a story to keep your readers interested like Harriet Beecher Stowe did in her novels on the Civil War where she wrote and told her experiences on brutal treatment of slaves on Southern plantations. She grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, where it was considered a slave city in 1982. She was famous for her book “Uncle Toms Cabin”
She wrote to her readers about slavery and kept her readers interested for more. This was her way of communication and it worked. Even President Abraham Lincoln stated “So youre the young lady who wrote the book that made this great war”. You see, she had a great communication going in here. I am focused on her because she sets a great way to show how important it is to use communication while writing anything to keep you readers begging for more. In her next novels, people labeled them as propaganda. She sought to influence readers toward the belief that the Southern cause was the only right one. Her communication writing was so powerful that
