I agree with the author. Many times, as writers, they get too hooked up in using too much vernacular and tend to say things redundantly. It's uneccesary to be repetitive about the something when one word can do all of the describing or give enough information. By using simple sentences, I think it is more understandable for the readers to grab hold to what the writer wants them to understand.
I really enjoyed Ken Marcrorie’s opinions. I think that writers, including myself, clutter their works with unnecessary words. This act creates works that inspire passive and uninterested reading. His statement concerning the alterative meanings of certain sentences based on word and modifier placement is thrilling. I have considered the interpretive meanings of words, but I have never expanded this idea to the placement of those words, however unnecessary, in a sentence. However, I do not agree that sharing all of the facts all of the time is necessary in all writing. While clarification colors the work with information, it can also elude the reader’s own sense of wonder and interest. Also simple sentences do not always favor the writing style and can easily become too repetitive. Depending on the context, I can savor and detest the author’s argument.
I agree with the author. Some writers are guilty of using too many words which can often times confuse the reader. I had to read a research article for a class and the authors just went on and on with a bunch of unnecessary technical jargon. I had to wade through it before it finally arriving at the meat of the article. I was very frustrated and I was thinking, 'Why couldn't they just state the point in the beginning?
I agree with the author. I agree that using words, such as it, can get excessive and boring; there are better, clearer words that can replace "it". When using words like "it", the reader tends to get bored and maybe even a little confused.
I agree with the author. I find that many times when i'm reading a book or article for class, the over use of certain words tends to confuse me. The context of a story is much easier to read with out the abundant use of unnecessary words. A sentence with too many words often is one I have to continuously read before meaning of it is clear to me.
I agree that "it" is used too much in general with many writings. However, I feel that maybe they should address this issue a lot sooner in school settings. I know in the school that I attended, my english teachers put a lot of emphasis on using unnecessary words and worked hard on making us realize when and which words we needed to omit.
I agree that writers should write in more clearer and concrete sentences to avoid vague interpretations. I also believer that simpler writing is more elegant. The examples given by the author are very helpful and I will definitely try to incorporate some of the writing strategies provided.
