3. Do any paragraphs or sections disrupt this organizational pattern? If there is a break in your organiza-
tional structure, it should not only be intentional, but also serve a legitimate purpose. Perhaps you decided
to keep the block comparison and contrast. In one section, though, you slip into the point-by-point mode
and compare two items directly. Unless there is a solid reason for the inconsistency, such as making sure
that those two items stand out as more significant than the others being compared, change that section to
the block technique. Consistency makes your essay easier to read and understand.
