It's similar to the structure of a house: certain spaces are designated as a\u00a0bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, and so forth.\r\n\r\nAs we know, houses appear in many different shapes and sizes, even though they contain all of these similar features. \u00a0You might say that the structure<\/em> of a house can be organized<\/em> in many different ways. \u00a0In writing, organization is where your unique approach as an author comes into play. \u00a0In what particular order are body paragraphs placed?
