Style

One of the approaches to style that seemed to hit home for me was writing sentences in order, and trying not to “overwrite” a sentence. Many times I will write the paragraph that I am thinking of, and then will go back and read it aloud. I find that by reading it aloud, it lets me find natural pauses that I can use to re-write the paragraph to make it flow more smoothly. This also falls into the writing what comes naturally, that by speaking it aloud it helps the flow to be more natural in nature. A final reminder was not putting in opinions in your essay. In the first couple of essays we wrote, it was definitely true to not put opinion. However in my persuasive paper, I utilized my opinion to aid in my research of the topic. I found credible sources to back up what I felt was true and this helped to strengthen my paper.
