       The extended definition of classification and division is the strategy that most authors use to get the point across and to push an argument forward. The author talks about a more broad subject, then classifies them into more narrow pathways. They focus on a big subject like for instance sustainability, then narrow it down into around three categories. From those three categories, they also have around 3 branches that come off of those categories, but they all relate back to the general idea of sustainability. Authors use this to have more evidence to back up their main point and to also push an argument forward if it is an argumentative essay. So the first step is the subject, then the second part is classifications, then divisions to tie it up and get to the really narrow subjects that tie into the big subject. This can help push arguments across because it is hard for the opposing side to argue against if you have the whole side of your argument and there are is no room for the opposing side to attack your side.
