1. Being organized can save time and money.

2. A cluttered and untidy environment can reduce productivity.

3. Firstly, the writer uses pronouns such as ‘I’ to help the readers relate with her better. She offers
the readers a view through her perspective, showing them how she relates with the topic
personally: “I’m very absent minded”, “I’m incapable of remembering”. The writer then uses
many different types of sentence structures and lengths to add variety to the text: “I’m very
absent minded”, “I’m incapable of…messiest people I know”. This keeps the text from being
repetitive and ‘boring’ for the readers. The writer also makes sure to use subheadings to
segment her text into bite sized pieces of information for her reader to process easily: “Tidy
room, Tidy mind”. We can also see that the writer addresses the reader directly in her text, this
is as direct as the writer can be which gives the reader the feeling that the writer is ‘looking out’
for them: “even if you’ve written”, “if your working environment”. The writer uses slightly
informal terms, such as “scatter-brained” to show the reader that she is not restricted by
formalities and that she is willing to get to the point for the audience. Finally, the writer
concludes with all the potential contexts her advice could be used in, mentioning a wide variety
of lifestyles which would include most of her audience and help them relate further with the
text: “related to work, school, college, or life in general”.
4. All of his clothes were at the bottom of the wardrobe.
5. The more the parents make it an issue, the longer the problem will last. Teenagers are too busy
figuring out who they are inside that they fail to see what’s happening outside.
6. The writer uses descriptive writing to emphasize just how untidy Brandon’s room was, offering
to paint a vivid picture of what parents have to go through in such a situation: “nearly tripped
over a bowl of crushed potato chips”, “Which are on top of papers”. The writer then uses direct
quotations from the characters mentioned in the story to add depth to the text: “Parents are
embarrassed”, “It’s hard for parents to have to let go of their child”. We can also see that the
writer presents his ideas in an analytic fashion, choosing to explain both sides and find the root
cause of the problem: “but what does it mean to Brandon Krueger”, “But there is a parallel
universe on teenage blogs”. The writer also finds use in using expert advice to present a
professional outlook on the issue at hand, this adds more credibility to his text: “Experts say
that”, “Dr. Barbara Greenburg, a psychologist and author”. The writer also uses defining
adjectives to describe modern teenagers such as ‘stubborn’ and ‘defensive’ to present his
thoughts in a more indictive way.
7. There are many similarities and differences to be found within the ways both writers express
their ideas.

For example, we can start with the similarities to be found within the way both writers use
perspective to explain their thought process behind the way they do things: “I’m very absent
minded”, “My privacy, my place to relax”. We can also see how both writers structure their
texts, they use small bite-sized paragraphs to get pieces of information out, one at a time.
Writer one and writer two also use emotions in their texts such as ‘stressed’ in Text one and
‘frustration’ in Text two. We can also point out how both writers point out the negatives of
untidiness, with points such as how there is a lack of control and a decrease in productivity
being brought up in the process.
 For every similarity, there is also a difference. While writer one focuses strictly on the
importance of cleanliness and how to maintain it, writer two emphasizes on the problems
associated with having a messy bedroom and issues that arise as a result of it. Writer one has a
more positive outlook in their text and explains how to fix the issue while writer two focuses
more on explaining the problem at hand: “. There is also a difference to be found in the way
writer one uses subheadings while writer two does not. Writer one uses the first perspective
way more, explaining her point through her own scope, while writer two uses perspectives
varying across many different people.

It is with these comparisons and contrasts that we can see how the writers of both texts lay out
their ideas in a greatly effective way.

It is in these modern times that we as humans have put great emphasis on refining every aspect
of our surroundings. That includes home, the workplace, school, and etc. We proudly boast huge
groundbreaking advancements and improvements in such a broad range of places but fail to
realize the importance of upkeeping and taking care of such things. In this article, I would like to
emphasize and explain the true extent to which being tidy and organized plays a role in society.

Firstly, the advantages of being tidy and organized comes with the words themselves. You are
kempt, neat, and clean. Long past are the days where you have to waste time and effort looking
for miscellaneous, misplaced items. A benefit of this is increased productivity. Because of this
increased efficiency, you can do more tasks in less time. Having a messy workplace can be
distracting as well. When your surroundings are organized and neat, it is much easier to focus on
the task at hand without distractions.

As for the difference in attitudes across generations, there is a significant correlation to be found
in the way older people tend to value neatness more. It was a vital part of society back then to
be orderly and neat, as it was a great quality to have as a person. Older people value discipline
and responsibility greatly; tidiness and organization just happen to be a defining highlight of
both. Younger generations may struggle with upkeeping tidiness, as they live in a world defined
by fast-paced technology and processes. They may find the slow and boring process of tidying
up unsuitable for their lifestyle, and may overlook it in favor of something else.

It is recommended for people to follow a disciplined lifestyle if they seek to stay organized. It
helps prevent the buildup of clutter and unwanted objects in their surroundings. I would also
recommend assigning a specific place for important items. Knowing where each item belongs is
a critical step in staying organized and tidy. Cleaning up on a regular basis also helps you stay
neat. Doing it on a regular basis also establishes routine, which will increase your discipline as
well.

It is with these points that I would like to promote the importance of organization. Without
organization, society would be inefficient, lame, and unreliable. A small step goes a long way if
repeated over and over. With the points mentioned above, you can pave a way to a healthier,
more successful and more fulfilling life as a member of society.
11. The object that means the most to me is a chalky, weathered down diary I have had since I
was a child. It has gone through an enthralling journey with me over the years. It has seen the
lows of life, unbearable sadness, tragedy, moments where life seemed as if it was not worth
living anymore. But in the same sense, it has seen glory, moments where I felt unstoppable,
unremitting, joyful, and peaks where I could lay to rest a happy soul.

I can feel its history when I run my fingers through each crevice of the book, the years of
wear and tear showing its effect. There were blotches of warm and dried out colors across each
page, making every turn and sight seem Picasso-esque. The finely engraved silver binder showed
the endless amount of effort and love put into it by the original creator. I could feel the bumps,
the formerly wet spots where the paper has dried and shriveled up, the history behind the
physical form of the book alone that tells a story meant to be passed down through generations.

If the physical form of the book were to put one at awe, the true content of the book
would blow any heightened expectation out of the water. On its beautifully pulped and formed
paper was the most refined and subjugating calligraphy unknown to anybody east of the
hemisphere. It was beautifully written, with each line proving to be straight and true. The ends
of each letter ended in beautiful curvature, shifting and slithering to conclude the formation of
each letter. With the combination of such gorgeously written characters produced a word, and
with every group of words produced a passage, and what a passage it was. The content of each
text relayed a message from olden times, times of great sadness and despair, each letter proving
true to its reader.

This journal is what bridges me to the past, my own personal time machine to remind
me of what was. Every time I am to open and revise what is in the book, I am reminded of the
tremendous journey I have gone through. It is my life’s testament, a reminder to always
appreciate what I have in life, and to never take anything for granted. This is, my childhood
diary.
