More ways to say "explores the idea" (1 Viewer)

[SGSII]

Hey Guys
Could someone please help me find other words to use other than "explores the idea"?
I find that in paragraphs when i'm writing an essay or speech, I tend to use that same phrase over and over again
So e.g. "Skzynecki's Migrant Hostel explores the idea that....."
So do you have any suggestions of words to use instead of that?

Thank you!

Exemplifies, discovers, iterates, exaggerates

highlights, exemplifies, elucidates (personal favourite), crystallises, illustrates, shows, asserts....

ALso another way of getting around that is to not always structure the sentence in that way. You can lead with the topic in a way, like instead of; "Skzynecki's Migrant Hostel explores the idea that culture is a significant factor in forming an individual's perception in belonging", you can start some sentences more actively such as "Culture is illustrated as a significant factor in shaping an individual's perceptions of belonging in Skzynecki's Migrant Hostel".

That's a good idea!
Could you please help me rephrase this sentence so it doesnt sound so awkward and wordy:
"Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye” explores the idea that an individual’s choice to not conform; retaining individuality can lead to sacrificing their sense of belonging"

take out "idea"- what you are trying to say IS an idea. Substitute words such as exemplifies, emphasises, demonstrates, shows, displays, communicates etc.

Alrightie, could you please give a suggestion of how you would have reworded it?

Not a fan of using semi colons that much, just writing preference,

An individual's choice to retain their individuality can lead to the establishment of barriers to belonging, as highlighted in Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye".

Something like that?

Lol everyone should have their own writing styles by yr12 amirigh?

No problems

And jenslekman, I would say I had a particular style when writing for English and humanities in general. If a teacher were to pick up my work, they could likely guess it was mine just by the phrasing, structure and vocabulary I tended to cycle.

Just for another approach, you could also say something like:

Retaining ones' individuality through the deliberate choice of not conforming is explored in Salinger's 'Catcher in the Rye', revealing the long-term impact of sacrificing a sense of belonging.
