As a writer, you can't always count on your audience knowing as much about the subject as you do. Oft times the audience can get lost in a sea of confusing phrases and give up on trying to understand what the essay is trying to convey. In these cases, when the subject matter is difficult to comprehend, it is useful to use Classification and Division.
Classification and Division is a technique in which the author breaks the essay down into smaller segments, in which the important terms pertaining to the essay are thoroughly defined. In this way the audience can get some background information so that they can understand the material better. Classification is dividing the essay into bigger chunks of related information, whereas division is breaking down the classification segments into even smaller, more detailed pieces. By using this tool, an author can define any important terms that are used in their essay and directly link them to specific issues within the article. This makes it easy for the audience to follow along and stay on the same wavelength as the writer.
