Sole Support

A good pair of heels does not only lend itself to giving a woman the elegant height she's always wanted. No. Heels also play an important role as the support to a perfectly paired outfit. Whether the shoes play the introduction to an outfit or the daring conclusion, the support is there and always strong. Much like sentences, heels assist an outfit in achieving a specific point or meaning. Relevance is the key idea here. While the heels don't give sole relevance to an outfit the concept of support stands strong here. Each piece of an outfit cannot stand alone giving the entire concept in one article of clothing.

Supporting sentences are similar to heels in that respect. No paper or written work can stand strong in meaning and depth without sentences offering support to the message. Joseph M. Williams of Style:Lessons in Clarity and Grace writes, "Readers must see how everything in a section or whole is relevant to its point." Williams goes on to explain that when readers view sentences that do not hold cohesiveness to the whole passage "...they are likely to judge what they read incoherent" (Williams 203).

Both heels and supporting sentences play major roles in holding pieces together, whether those pieces deal with articles of clothing or writing, the concept of lending support is imperative.
