“Write the voices of others into your text.” In the book “They Say/ I Say” by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein, the conversation that they refer to is about academic writing. What makes someone become a better writer. Designing temples to help writers to enter “not only the world of academic thinking and writing, but also the wider worlds of civic discourse and work.” Besides, temples are as well needed to present in a clear structure and well develop the language to express what somebody wants to say. In addition, the temples implies in “They Say/ I Say” help someone’s writing become more original and creative. Graff and Birkenstein also explain that the most important part a conversation is to express someone’s ideas or knowledge as a response
Throughout “Argument as Conversation,” Stuart Greene demonstrates the concept of supporting an argument through the use of varying conversations to encourage writers to research and support their own personal opinions. Greene begins by expressing that to take a stand on one argument it is necessary to extensive research on all aspects having to do with a topic. Greene also communicates that reading acts as one of the most important things a writer can do. While stating this Greene explains that the research conducted must contain counterarguments, context, and objections to the idea at hand. This research could be done in the form of a conversation. For example, listening to an argument and adding personal input, while receiving criticism

In "The Maker's Eye: Revising Your Own Manuscript," the writer, Donald Murray, demonstrates that writers need to create a few drafts. In the improvement of creating drafts, each draft can be changed and reworked to be clearer. Authors need to welcome both negative input and compliments and be suspicious of both. Murray likewise focuses on the significance of reworking, which incorporates forms like filtering drafts and altering issues which sentences are not in respect to the theory with a specific end goal to make them legible (Murray, p.102). Also, writers must make sure to be more aware of the audience interests and be sure their audience understands the information which the writer is trying to precisely convey. As such, authors must comprehend
Furthermore, the importance of teamwork and collaboration to produce a superior work as a result of bolstering each other strengths was demonstrated in my third artifact, which is a group presentation. Although this project was my first english presentation and I had many feelings encountered, positive and negative ones, it showed me the influence that an orator can convey not only in a massive group but also inside a classroom. Good speakers plan not only the content of their speech but also their style of delivery. Despite the importance of having a clear and logical message to convey, how the message is presented is critical for bringing forth the desire concept (WOVEN 229).
She argues that in the humanities articulate writing is needed to provoke thoughts. She states that in humanities they seriously discus many horrific issues such as slavery and women not being able to vote. (147) Butler states that. By being articulate you are able to challenge these issues that are thought of
The two essays, Splintered Literacies and Writing in Sacred Spaces, both revolve around the inherent “why” of storytelling. Each addresses a different facet, with the former delving into how the types and varieties of writing we experience affect our identities. Meanwhile, the latter explores the idea of thought concretization. Humanity developed writing as a tool to capture the otherwise intangible. Whether belief or abstract concept, the act of putting something in writing creates a concreteness, trapping the thought in a jar like a firefly. The thoughts and ideas we manifest onto the page or into the air give life to our knowledge, perpetuating its’ existence.
You belong to a discourse community! Whether you know it or not almost everyone belongs to some type of discourse community, but how does it affect you as an individual? From the studies of multiple authors, it has been established what defines a discourse community, what effects intertextuality have on a discourse community and even the overall dynamics, but even with all this research there is still something missing. Elizabeth Wardle, John Swales, and James Porter all make very good discussion points and arguments in their research, but none of these writers stop to examine the effects that these communities could possibly have on the individuals that make the community what it is. Just as it’s the simple stone block that when combined become
The introduction to Rewriting: How to Do Things with Texts was interesting because it emphasized how writers writing about other works should go beyond what is blantly written by the author and interpret the piece in their own way. Joseph Harris, the author, begins to explain the importance of a writer “to say something new and say it well”, which is different from what many of my past English teachers would tell me how to
Q: Use St Peter’s basilica and Donato Bramante’s Tempietto in Rome, in opposition to John Balthasar Neumann’s Pilgrimage Church of Vierzehnheiligen in Bamburg, Germany, to argue that a rational engagement with architecture is a more effective means to comprehend and understand architectural form.
Writing is a mirror through which readers can watch any writer's mind. In fact, when I started thinking of how I should begin writing this post, this expression crossed my mind. I spend time remembering and searching who said this phrase? but unfortunately, I could not find any clue neither in English nor in Arabic. At this moment, I made sure that I must have heard or read it somewhere so, it is saved in my unconscious. The information that writers’ knowledge depends on their previous experiences, is repeated a lot in Naming What We Know and I read it recently in the concept of Texts get their meaning from other texts. Writing is influenced by textual material and the optical units like images as what Kevin Roozen stated " Texts even rely upon a range of non-written texts, readers
Any craftsman knows that you need the right tools to complete a project successfully. Similarly, people need the right language and usage to communicate in a positive way. How people write is often a problem because they don’t have the right tools, but a bigger problem occurs when a writer “is almost indifferent as to whether his words mean anything at all” (592). If a writer carries this mentality, why try to communicate in the first place? People need...
When their teacher hands them a composition notebook and tells them to write about their life in a way where they will not be judged for what they talk about and what they have been through, the students then start to express themselves in a way they never would have been able to. Quindlen later connect the movie and book “Freedom Writers” to how writing in letter and in general has gone away from a tradition and has now become something in education that seems forced and makes it hard for people to be creative and write about and how they want to. “writing began to be seem largely as the purview of writers.” (Quindlen) This means that society has started to go away from writing as freely as we want and to more of following a certain kind of form of writing now. Quindlen later discusses how, “words on paper confer a kind of immortality” which means that words written on paper give a sense that no matter what you always have a way to remember the person who wrote it and why it was written. (Quindlen) This text is important because it discusses how much writing has changed and how society has gone away from writing freely and has now started writing with a sort of equation because society was taught that way, which has drawn potential writers away from using writing as a way to paint pictures and write a meaningful

The end of the Geometric period resulted in the beginning of the Orientalizing Period, dated between 700-600 BC. Within this time frame, Greek introduced a new innovation, the Peripteral Temple. For many years prior, a row of colonnade was used on the interior primarily to hold up the roof of the building. In contrast, columns are seen being used on the outside, creating a visual wall around the building exposing parts of the interior. With in the temple existed the megaron style, carried forward from Bronze Age homes. It was also in eastern influenced period, the first real stone temples, and terra cotta roof tiles came to exist to hold the weight on these new stone temples. The population grew drastically, introducing new techniques and styles, which blended to form designs with balance and symmetry. It was during this period, two major Greek designs were developed, the Ionic and Doric order. (Pedley, 2012: pg. 180) The Doric order, being the first and most simple, consisted of baseless columns placed closely together as the Greeks did not know how much weight the shortened columns could hold. Reason behind this was the lack of length in the columns were believed to hold less weight and therefore forced into being placed closer together. This closely set arrangement created a very bold statement in the Doric temple. The Capital, which sat on top of the concaved shaped shaft, was left plain but when grouped alongside others, suggested a bold harmony. In contrast, the Ionic order was less bulky and more delicate than the Doric order. The top of the capital is decorated with two scrolls, also known as volutes, which could have resembled a shell or animal horns. Above the capital, held room for a surrounding frieze depictin...
For example, Elizabeth Wardle shows this when she uses Alan’s story about how he acquired a new IT job and had to communicate to others every day. He thought to have all the authority from the beginning (291-297). A major mistake he made was in his communication to his other co-workers, which then lead to their opposing views on him and basically thought he was a joke (Wardle 93). When he would write his emails he would not use appropriate word choice and format. Even though his information could be useful and valid he wasn’t writing how he should have been in a professional workplace with his co-workers being older than him. Knowing how to communicate effectively is a major thing in life and one needs to know the right type in a certain setting. In this specific bible study group multiple ways of communicating are used and each one has different uses to when to use it and what it is. I observed them and was able to see if they had poor
