Chronological order has often been difficult for me to follow. In turn, while writing my Kite Runner essay, I struggled to write the essay in a correct order of events. I was surprised to find out that my mind often doesn't think in sequential order. Sometimes thoughts come in a random string, all relating to one another rather than coming in the order the author presents them. From this, I speculated whether there actually was a "correct order" of thinking. I find that the author spits out their thoughts in a pattern that makes sense to them. From there, the reader can then judge and rearrange their thinking to fit into their own individual logical mindset. This is a skill that allows any piece of writing to be universal, for the reader can make the ideas and their sequence all their own, which is very effective. I have come to appreciate this quality of my thinking, for putting your own twist on the ideas presented in the book can make the whole story become new again.
Yet when one changes the order of events, the flow and rhythm can often be obstructed. This is something that I would like to improve on in my own writing. Transitions are key to having good beats and pulses in writing and there presence in every paragraph is paramount. In the future, I hope to be able to have more efficient and powerful transitions from paragraph to paragraph and idea to idea. This should enhance the overall progression of the paper, making it more pleasing to the reader.
