It proceeds logically from the elements of language to the idea of language as a transaction between writer and reader. It then proceeds to a detailed examination of the structure of sentences and practical advice about how to organize a story, with, of course, plenty of examples to illustrate each point made. Thus the ideas presented become more sophisticated as the reader gets further into the book. It ends with some elementary but essential rules about grammar and punctuation.
