Meaning What you Say
Multiple times in my life I have written papers some good some bad. The majority of the papers I just wanted to get done because typing or writing papers are not something that I find enjoyable and they feel like a chore to do. Most the papers I found many ways just to fill them up to the appropriate amount of words without really talking about the subject. In class Mrs. Sumner explained to us that exact problem and showed us statements that were full of bulk. She showed us that the words in them carry meaning you might say, many people commit crimes, and she would point out, who is many people and what crimes do they commit. I never looked at sentences that way but I think I got it she is trying to say that we must be more specific, get off the fence and say what you really mean. When she dismantled the sentence it frustrated me and most of the class even to the point that she even began to outlaw some words. We sooner or later got it. In the end I found that it was a very important lesson, something that I will take outside the classroom which is rare.
