A Brief Break to Talk About, Well....Writing Prompts

     Abstracts are an interesting form of writing. One could argue that they're essentially summaries, but I think that they're far more aggressive than that. When a work is set to have an abstract written about it, it first must be thoroughly examined. Once the absolute key points are identified, all the other information can be deemed unnecessary and removed. Abstracts basically glean all the fat (extra or otherwise) off of papers and leave nothing but the facts. This makes abstract a perfect writing form for the conclusion portion of our paper. In the conclusion, we're expected to write what all we've gathered from our research and, as the name implies, the conclusions we've gathered from it. By using the abstract form, we can cut away any extraneous details of the paper and leave behind the bare facts and let them establish the credibility of our research for us.
