1. Chapter 14 discusses the seven writing strategies presented earlier in your textbook in a new light—as ways not only of developing a piece of writing but also of determining your purpose for writing. For this activity, choose one essay from Chapter 14 for each of the seven strategies discussed, and analyze how well each author's use of these strategies has helped to define and achieve his or her purpose. Identify what you perceive to be the purpose of each piece, and analyze how well the strategy used by that author supports that purpose.
   
   
2. For two or three essays from Chapter 14, discuss how employing a different strategy might have changed the piece's subject and purpose. Identify an alternate strategy for each of the essays you select, and describe how using that strategy would change the essay.
   
   After reading Chapter 14 and the accompanying essays, how do you think you will use these strategies in your own writing? That is, at what point(s) in the writing process will you consider which strategy or strategies to use, and what effect(s) will this decision have on your writing? Explain your response in a paragraph or two.
