Extended
Deni&on
Crea&ng
a
deni&on
by
exploring
a
thing,
quality,
or
idea
in
its
full
complexity
and
drawing
boundaries
around
it
un&l
its
meaning
is
complete.
Extended
deni&ons
usually
treat
subjects
so
complex,
vague,
or
laden
with
emo&ons
or
values
that
people
misunderstand
or
disagree
over
meanings.
Extended
Deni&ons
The
subject
may
be
an
abstract
concept,
a
controversial
phrase,
a
slang
expression,
or
a
concrete
thing.
An
extended
deni&on
allows
an
author
to
put
parameters
around
what
that
thing
is
(or
isnt)
Besides
dening,
the
authors
purpose
is
to
persuade
readers
to
accept
a
deni&on,
to
explain
a
unique
or
original
view
of
an
idea,
concept
or
thing,
or
to
amuse
the
audience.
Wri&ng
Arguments
of
Deni&on:
Consider
words
that
have
complex
meanings
and
are
open
to
interpreta&on.
You
should
either
know
something
about
the
subject
or
care
deeply
enough
about
it
to
get
to
know
it
fully.
Consider
what
the
word
does
mean
to
you
and
what
it
doesnt
mean
to
you
(Nega&on)
Consider
synonyms
they
might
lead
you
to
other
ideas
Wri&ng
Arguments
of
Deni&on:
Examine
the
dierences
of
opinion
about
the
words
meaning
the
dierent
ways,
wrong
or
right,
that
you
have
heard
or
seen
it
used.
Is
your
percep&on
of
the
word
unique
in
some
way
due
to
personal
experience?
How
might
someone
else
dene
your
word?
Wri&ng
Arguments
of
Deni&on:
How
can
the
subject
be
described?
What
are
some
examples?
Can
it
be
divided
into
quali&es
or
characteris&cs?
Could
you
compare
or
contrast
it
to
something
else
to
help
clarify
its
meaning?
Wri&ng
Extended
Deni&ons
When
wri&ng
extended
deni&ons,
you
have
total
control
over
the
direc&on
you
go
and
the
parameters
you
set.
Your
deni&on
should
be
your
personal
view
of
the
term
being
dened,
not
necessarily
the
stereotypical
view.
Please,
please,
pleasebe
original!
