Well, seeing as I haven’t written my article yet, I can’t say how my writing style or use of words can make it compelling. But I think that my article will be compelling just because the topic is of interest to students and I plan to use the hypothetical scenario in my earlier blog post. I don’t think I’ll be able to use any personal stories or relate it to anything that has to do with me, but I don’t think that’s really needed. Because my topic is easily relatable to college students who are the main audience of Commonplace articles, it will probably be of more interest to them than say environmental issues or politics or whatnot. Not to say that those topics are not interesting, but that they are usually not as interesting to most teenagers as they are to older people. And since my writing style isn’t extremely intellectual and I don’t use that many technical and difficult words, it will be easier to read. Since it is not an academic research paper, I feel like I have a lot more freedom with the way I choose to write, and I can be way more casual and informal. This sort of essay format is what I am generally more used to, and what I prefer doing, since it’s practically conversational and I can sound like myself. I think it is easier to relay the intended message when you aren’t thinking too much about grammar and using big words to sound smarter and make it academically appropriate.
i feel like your arguement is very compelling because it deals with a large aspect of college life that many people can relate to
ReplyDeleteThank you! I thought so too. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing at first. You can't really say how compelling an article is without reading. That said, i believe your argument is compelling.
