Clarity Part two

 Being a writer, it is important to grow and create more clarity in your writing. Four ways you can that are by adding words to make connections more logical and complete, making the point of view consistent, making verbs consistent in mood and voice, and  avoiding shifts from indirect to direct quotations.

By making connection more logical, you can find ways to open up your writing. When you leave out certain words in phrases, it can leave out huge gaps within phrases and connections. When it comes to my own writing, I consistently make sure of this so that there are no huge gaps in my writing.

Making the point of view consistent within an essay/article is of the utmost importance.  Keeping a single point of view allows for an easier understanding on the writers opinion and an easier understanding of the situation. Jumping from point of view to another point of view will make making connections a whole lot more difficult.

When writing an essay, especially a QRG, it is important that verbs are used and that they are consistent in voice throughout the piece. To keep a consistent paper with full clarity, you must avoid using a shift in verb tone and voice.

Finally, quotations can make or break your paper. It is important to use them but in the right context. If you incorrectly use quotes, especially shifting from indirect to direct, you may be throwing your paper in the incorrect direction. Using a direct quote and citing the source contains much more clarity and valuable information than an indirect quote.

When looking through my essay, I found that I had consistency errors and some places where i have used one of the four points.
First in the beginning of the piece I correctly used a direct quote and didn't use an indrect quote following it:
"There existed a corporate culture at Toshiba where it was impossible to go against the boss' will," the report said. It highlighted "a systematic involvement including by top management" and "a deliberate attempt to inflate the appearance of net profit."(Business Insider)

Another example is here when I used a consistent voice and point of view to get my point across:
Much of our world is run by highly complicated technology that is created and imported from Japan, and Toshiba happens to be the biggest center for technology development in Japan. Should the company’s 140 year run in the technology industry come to an end, much of the world’s future technology could come at a slower pace and from a lesser known and trusted company.
