Chapter 46: Academic writing

In This chapter of “Rules for Writers” we grasp an understanding of how to support the main idea of a article or an advertisement. This also gives us information of how to write a strong opinionated article. You need to have a lot of true facts. You also need to fully support you thesis and not get off topic. This chapter shows you visually how to understand and breakdown each part of the text. It also shows you how to create an outline so that you can fully understand where the author is getting his or her facts. When you are writing a summary the most important fact to me was to maintain a neutral tone and to be objective. That key is so important, it sets the feeling of your summary and how you think. It is also very important that you understand the authors main idea of the article. When you annotate the text it is crucial to write down ideas so that they do not slip away, and pay deep attention to detail in the article.

From the visual aide I got in this chapter it has shown me to completely so my research when writing an article and get true facts because that is the first key of breaking it down in a summary. To me an article with true facts is strong and hard to argue with. With writing a summary I will make sure to keep a calm tone and be objective. To me that makes your argument get across so easy. When annotating I will make sure to deeply take notes so I don’t skip over information.  I will also think of who the author is addressing this article to and how message him or she is trying to purpose. So when writing an outline is will come much easier.
