 Hello Fellow Bloggers,

It's nice to "see" you here with me again, lol. Tonight, I'm going to speak about Boyd's Essay "Murder." I'll get straight to the point because I'm at work right now. On page (88) It really caught my attention that she used the phrase "Getting in Touch with Your Inner Detective" and asked

-What types of details did you find yourself adding? why

-What details did you omit? Why?

And from what I understood is that you have to discern, define, observe, and show your expertise in reading and writing. Just like what the detectives do in the real world or in any of the crime shows we watch on TV. To answer the question, do I find her persuasive? I most definitely do, and that's because she explained what is needed to become a good writer.

 Hello fellow bloggers, So, I am going to get straight to the point BUT I want this piece to be enjoyable to read also. But in my essay, I wanted to give some insight into why the education major would be a good fit and what some of the benefits of possibly having that degree are. It was supposed to be a little persuasive and slightly argumentative on how this major would be better than any others but I don't think I did a good job on that part. I tried to throw in a little logic only Because at the end of the day, this is just my opinion and not facts. From what I researched and from what I experienced pursuing this Education degree, you would be  Making a Difference , you will have the opportunity to directly impact the lives of young children, helping them reach their full potential and that is just to name a few. Who's to say other degrees won't have the same effect, but this is what I have chosen. A figure from Rebecca Jones just to show that I really don't have an...

Post 3: Read and Write like Mike Bunn

Hey there,  Thank you for reading my blog. It's a beautiful day or should I say "Night" haha to write blog # THREE!!! Here goes nothing. So after taking the time to read and try to analyze Mike Bunn's How to Read Like a Writer I've come up with a few things that I enjoyed and want to share with you all. I liked how Bunn explains what it Means to Read like a writer. Instead of writing just so that people would read your article you have to actually set a tone and make it so that your audience can understand and grasp what you have written. I noticed that Bunn mentions how he uses paraphrases instead of drawn-out quotes. Which I think is a plus. Because if you use a quote that only you understand how would you expect your readers to know what you are talking about. UNLESS they look it up but I doubt they would go that far. That's just a little bit of my take on the Mike Bunn portion of the reading space.  Again thank you to all who considered reading my blogs or...
