Concluding the chapter is an illustrative essay (15 total) showing how to approach the topic and begin writing about it. Commentary follows each illustrative essay Except for some generic topics like "Plot and Structure," "Point of View," and "Character" (which are applicable mainly for fiction and drama) all topics relate to all 3 genres - fiction, poetry, and drama.
