In chapter thirty five Hendrick explains the importance of terms. Terms are implemented into writing for a purpose. Arthur's use terms to get their message across to the reader. Two ways arthur's install the use of the terms is through repetition and emphasising. Sometimes that isn't enough and readers need further guidance to understand the term.
