Journal 9

This semester has changed, fixed, and developed my writing in a number of ways.  When I came into college I did not have a specific style.  First semester helped to develop the subject, or core, of my papers.  Second semester, however, helped me build up my argument with different techniques and styles learned in class. I try to incorporate humor in all of my papers because that is who I am.  Also, I try using different language devices like personification, simile, and hyperbole to keep the audience interested.  I agree with Vonnegut’s rules for style for the most part.  My two favorite parts of his style are “Pity the Readers” and “Keep it simple”.  This is the basis for my writing.
