Defintions

The use of definitions within a essay are important because they are used to paint a more vivid realistic view for our audience. The use of the introduction, body and conclusion will be used when explaining a definition. There are various ways to explain a definition to the audience.There are two types formal and extended definitions. A formal definition is the typical Webster Dictionary answer. It does not expand further information other than the term and formal definition. The extended definition will expand, provide examples, be descriptive, and compare and contrast. Definitions have a process from beginning to end. There will be classification and division providing a order of things. A good definition provides the audience with authority, or research behind the topic. 

In the body of extended definition there will be the use of synonyms, which is things that have similiar meanings. There is negation, which shows what something is and what it is not. Analogies are also used to expand on the topic. The definition will have origin and development, which is where it began and where is it headed. Finally, the conclusion will recap the why, the key moments, it will remind the audience of the issue at hand, and it will encourage furture study.
