Outlines

What is a reverse outline?

If a regular outline is something you write before you draft out your paper, a reverse outline is something you do after you write a draft.

Why should I reverse outline?

The reverse outline can be an extremely useful tool for helping you see the big picture of your paper, and can be especially useful for papers in need of major reordering of paragraphs or papers filled with paragraphs that have too many ideas in them and therefore don't hold together.

How do I make a reverse outline?

Go through the paper and number each paragraph. Then on a separate sheet of paper, write #1 and the main point (or points) of that first paragraph. Then, on the next line write #2 and the main point(s) of the second paragraph. Go through the entire paper this way. When you have gone through the entire paper, you will have an outline giving you an overview of your entire paper.

Then what?

• Now look carefully at your overview, asking yourself the following questions:
• Are the paragraphs properly focused, or are there multiple main ideas competing for control of a single paragraph?
• Now that you've identified the main point of each paragraph, does the topic sentence reflect that point?
• Are some of those ideas in a paragraph extraneous and should they therefore be deleted from the paper? Or do they simply need to be moved to a different part of the paper? (Many times you may find that a random idea tacked onto the end of, say, paragraph five really belongs in paragraph eleven where you fully develop that idea.) When you look at the outline as a whole, does the organization of the paper reflect what you promised in your introduction / thesis? If the answer is no, consider whether you need to revise the thesis or revise the organization of the paper.

Creative writing is important for many reasons.

• Creativity means using your brain, and anything you do to use your brain improves your intelligence and helps you to learn how to think better.
• Creative writing is storytelling, and humans have always loved stories.
• Creative writing can give out information in more interesting ways, and can help make learning that information more fun.
• Creative writing helps you to be a better writer, because practice makes perfect in writing just as in any other skill.

think one of my strongest character trait is creativity. If I get a project on arts and crafts, I am able to think up of very imaginative ideas. In being creative is fun, and straightforward. When I think of creativity, it makes me want to do more and better, and I am able to explore new thoughts. I like making people to become interested in my inspired work, and artistic styles of ingenuity. I like my work to be very unique and . Being artistic makes me challenge myself and I am very lucky to have the skill of creativity.

I love this question - how honest! Here are some ideas for you:

• Just sit down and start writing - the sooner you start, the sooner you will finish!
• Pick something interesting about the topic - if your teacher gives you some weird topic like "Picking flowers on a rainy afternoon" find something interesting to toss into it, like maybe you like rain or you could pick poison ivy flowers for an enemy!
• Be sarcastic - you have to be careful about this, because you still have to write a good essay and use correct English, but it is possible to write a totally sarcastic essay such as Johnathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (the one where he said we ought to eat all the poor people)>
  

The view held by religious authorities in the mainly Greek-speaking eastern regions was that there were 5 senior leaders, or Metropolitans, in the Christian Church, one of whom was the bishop of Rome. However, the bishop of Rome, known in the West as the Pope, insisted that he had greater authority than the other Metropolitans. Gradually, differences built up, but the key points of difference were an attempt by the bishop of Rome to change the Nicene Creed without a further Council of bishops, and Rome's objection to the Eastern churches allowing married priests.

The Great Schism resulted when Pope Leo IX sent legates to Patriarch Michael I, they attempted to excommunicate Michael and he then excommunicated the legates (Leo having died, Michael was unable to excommunicate him). There were attempts at reconciliation and the Churches came close to being reunited in 1274 and in 1439, but the schism eventually became permanent.

The western Church, based on Rome, has become known as Roman Catholic, while the eastern Churches have become known as Orthodox Churches.

from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957

The Schism of the East the estrangement and severance from the Holy See of what is now called the Orthodox Easter Church was a gradual process extending over centuries. After a number of minor schisms the first serious, though short, break was that of Photius; from then on tension between East and West increased, and the schism of Cerularius occurred in 1054. From then on the breach gradually widened and has been definitive since 1472. There was a formal union from the 2nd Council of Lyons in 1274 until 1282, and a more promising one after the Council of Florence from 1439 to 1472. After the capture of Constantinople it was in the Turkish interest to reopen and widen the breach with the powerful Roman church; the patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem were dragged into this policy, Russia and the Slav churches stood out the longest of any: none of these churches, except Constantiople itself in 1472, formally and definitely broke away from the unity of the Church. But in the course of centuries the schism has set and crystallized into a definite separation from the Holy See of many million people with a true priesthood and valid sacraments. The origins, causes and development of the schism are matters of much complication, still not fully unraveled.
