Blog # 2

I enjoyed Chapters 4 and 5, it seemed like a way for me to better my writing or give good criticism in a constructive way. The examples of Paraphrasing, Summary, and quotation are good ways for me to respond to questions or explain to someone what the reading was about. I also liked the questions on page 99, Would I recommend it to others? why or why not? which features help the writer achieve their goal? What features hinder its progress? And there were more.
In chapter 5 it explains how to have better descriptions and how they effect your writing. It explains how to improve your descriptions and that they can either be the primary pattern or the secondary pattern in order for you the achieve your writing purpose. I learned what the dominant expression was and I have never thought of it like that even though it is kind of obvious. That we should write only the details that add to the impression we are trying to make, have it focused.
I learned a lot from these chapters, I guess the thing that they could have added was a few examples of how not to do it just to make sure that it was clarified.
