I feel this was a really great study guide, I will have to admit I was struggling some with my essay. I was worried it would not be interesting, or it would offend someone, this really gave me some great ideas and insight on things. Don't worry about offending someone, it's your opinion and the teacher will probably be more interested in reading it if it controversial. He went on to explain teachers read the same thing over and over do something different and get there attention. They were talking about making your introductions paragraph interesting get the readers attention in that first paragraph, make them want to read more. It goes on to tell you to use descriptive words, give examples, make the people reading feel what you mean. If your talking about blood guts, make them see the blood and guts by your words. I also like the idea of the details, look up figures get totals, give examples, back up what your trying to say. Which with the internet this is so easy to do. “Call a fool a fool” this was so good, don't try to sugar coat it, just say what your thinking. If the person is a fool, call him a fool. I had never thought about the pat expressions...... if you can get around them don't use them. Good writers try anything and everything not to use these. Colorful words, this was so good, I'm always looking for the perfect word to describe how I feel. I try when I'm doing an advertisement for our business to get the word that will make the bride think, I really need this video. I'm glad I decided to take a break and try and knock out one of our readings today. I think this just might help me get my essay done. Let's hope.

ReplyDeleteI really like this blog. I can relate in my issue with saying what I mean. I struggle with that because I am afraid to offend someone or that my paper is not appropriate and I rather just be cautious to begin with.
