Choose two or three examples of “good” academic writing from “Hooks and Sinkers” and “Show and Tell.” Here, “good” can mean stylish, engaging, thought-provoking, creative, effective, or otherwise impressive according to Sword’s criteria–and your own.
You might even examine a passage of Sword’s own writing here. No matter which examples you examine, consider the following general questions as you explain what makes these examples better than others:
What draws you to these examples?
What specifically is effective about them?
How do they contrast with other examples that are less effective?
Quotes Required: 2.
Your response should include direct quotes from at least two of the required chapters. You may quote Sword and/or any of the authors she cites.
After each quote, use parenthetical citations of the MLA variety.
