While reading “The Writer’s Way”, I began to realize several aspects associated with the context of the material and my own experiences in the academic world (Rawlins and Metzger). The first connection I discovered came when I read section “two Learning Equals Changing” (Rawlins and Metzger 3). I am no stranger to “experiencing and reflecting” in any part of my life (Rawlins and Metzger 3). When I take part in conversations, I analyze the content for long periods of time. Contemplating what happened, the conversation, what I could have done differently and many other questions occur in the process. In an academic setting, sometimes I process the information the same, however, I am not consistent with such a pattern. Academically I have found

When I started to read this text, the first thing that stood out to me was Zinn’s writing style. I really liked his approach to history. He isn’t just digging up dirt on historical subjects and bring villians to light, rather he is making us the reader question history. The sentence that made me come to that conclusion was when he was saying is the easy acceptance of atroccitiesas as a deplorable but nessary price to pay for progress?

Logic dictates he wouldn't have to respect you. Do you want to go back to a life of disrespect? And getting stepped

This passage teems with life. Bret Lott is unconventional in his writing style, and paints a picture with his words. He begins the paragraph with the word “but”, a conjunction. Most people think this way but do not write like this because it is typically taboo. Especially, in academic writing. The use of a conjunction here makes the entire paragraph stand out. Furthermore, Lott goes on to write a beautiful analogy about the simple words in writing that hold a lot of power. Lott uses nouns more than adjectives to create his scene. “Trench-warfare”, “grunt-work”, and “many yards of gravel” are all examples of his use of nouns to describe simple words that make the way for complex ones. Through his description the reader can plainly see

There are many writing styles that many people pick up as they go through there many years of schooling. Each person picks up the same type of writing styles but as years go by people seem to pick up there own little types of writing style that separates them from everyone else.

The beginning of the article starts with short simple sentences, by the third page the reference to the old saying, “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” is made, and in page four the statement “don’t turn a blind eye” is used to make readers think about the times they looked away from a situation.

This style permits the authors to illustrate traits “you” may have and suggest change without judgment. This choice of conversational style is beneficial in presenting controversial information to the audience because it establishes an equal voice versus a dry superior voice, making it easier to understand.
