Chapter six had a great deal of useful information about strategies for organizing data within a written document. As I read this I realized that formal writing is a very strict process. The irony in that stems from my opinion on writing; to be one of the most ‘free’ forms of expression. A journal/diary is an example of a ‘free’ form of expression I speak of. This type of writing does not need to rely on any tools to “keep the information together” as the text states. However if I had to insert this same information generated from such ‘freedom’, it would begin to limit my writing. I can see the function in using the organization tools offered in this chapter. It seems as if there is no end to improve writing but we can choose the tools we will more than likely need if we can’t master them all. I come in contact with a great deal of sensitive data in my profession. It is my job to organize it and prepare documents that translate it to measurable progress in a Human being. I obtain the data in various ways but it is still my job to organize it.

Sometimes I use a narrative; at times the data can be a list or a chart. The tools in the 6^th chapter are useful because making use of them will allow a writer to hurdle limitations of grouping data coherently within a single document. When this concept is applied the more formal writing we encounter it is very easy to tell who has organized their data in a fashion it can be comprehended rather than just included everything the document needed to contain.
