Digression in the spoken and written word often goes unnoticed, except that a portion does not seem to fit 'the topic' of everything else that is spoken or written then. Here are some examples of digression:
I hate people who do not respect others. Teachers seem to disrespect students; students disrespect teachers. Parents often show little regard for their children and their children in turn show little regard for their parents and others. The other day, I saw a couple arguing in front of their kids. It wasn't a bad argument, just a little arguing, you know, "I think this" and "I disagree", and the dad yelled about how much the mom spent on shoes. The mom yelled how the dad stayed out late...and well, they finally 'kissed and made up', you know. Parents must teach children to respect, which is taught in many mini lessons. For example...
- In the above example, something in the speaker's thoughts reminded him of the 'arguing' example. But he doesn't clearly tie his point of 'respect--disrespect' to how parents show little regard for children--or how parents teach children to respect.
Example:
Many people believe John F. Kennedy was a great leader. As a US President, he served during the continuing anti-communism crusade of the 1940s and 1950s. He united citizens. He raised citizen's hopes and dreams, instilling in people a desire to take personal action. A friend of mine volunteered in homeless shelters before volunteering became such a buzz word like it has today. He once met this guy...I think his name was Charlie...well, Charlie had a lisp and rolled his r's in his words--my friend thought that was really funny! I told him he shouldn't make fun of people! But...well anyway... President Kennedy really encouraged people to give of themselves!
- Note again how the writer goes off on a tangent. His story only loosely connects to the thesis: how people viewed President Kennedy's abilities to be a great leader.
