I found this chapter quite helpful. I found that I rely on a few devices. I rely on repetition the most I feel. Especially towards the end of my paper as ideas, concepts, or connections circle back around to conclude my paper. However, although I had quite a bit of repetition I made sure that the wording was not always the exact same, but tried to continue on the point or push it further each time I repeated a point or concept. I also noticed I used a lot of pointing terms, but must cold also be considered a transition term. Words like however, similarly,  or along a similar point were used as transitions, but also serve as pointing terms because they indicate to the reader if I am going to continue on with a concept further, or complicate it a bit in the following sentence. As for patterns I saw a lot of repetition throughout, but especially at the end. As well as transitions tended to be at the beginning of paragraphs and in between quotes or evidence used. I tended to put pointing terms in the middle of paragraphs when complicating points, leading into quotes, or furthering a concept with more evidence. I found a couple places that were a bit hard to follow but it was more so do to grammatical errors or weird wording, not necessarily the lack of connection.
