Nora Hixson: Chapter 8 Reading Response

Personal Reaction: From this chapter I learned how incredibly important examples are when writing, not only to support your statements but to also be able to capture the interest of the reader. I also learned that they suggest that you put yourself in the reader's position when you read your essay to see if it would capture your interest. Another thing I learned was that in an essay it is sometimes best to start with your weakest argument and then progress to your strongest to enforce your point.

Professional Reaction: I believe that the most important points in the reading were that thorough and detailed examples are extremely important when supporting your point, organization of your examples has a massive affect on the way your point is supported and how your readers will see it, and that you always need to end your essay with what you want the reader to remember.
