Week 11 Reading

I really liked “How to Write With Style,” by Kurt Vonnegut I really liked this essay. There were two things that I liked that were in this essay. One of them was to be our self. They mentioned that news reporters are told not to put in anything about them self’s they said that all other writers do not do that. I think that they are true that when you write you need to be yourself, and put yourself out there. I also liked that Kurt Vonnegut said that you need to break the rules to write something good and become a good writer. We are learning to start to do that now in college. But we have to undo years of luring rules that you have to break. This process learning things and then learning to break them does not sound like the right way to learn how to write. I found that the “Edit Sentences,” pg108 and “Editing forward Choice” at bottom of pg114 (including the “Checklist” and “Text Connex” boxes. Were informative about a few general things about editing, I find it interesting that in our class we learned the things it talked about first and then read this makes this sound a lot like a summary of what we need to do
