2. Basic elements of writing

         Writing is complex because you have to consider many variables. You
need to think about your knowledge of the subject and your purpose in
writing the document. You have to consider your readers and their expectations.
You have to take into account what they may or may not know about
the subject, what will interest them, what details are essential, and what
kinds of explanation will make your points clear. You also have to consider
the best form for presenting this information.
