As I read the assignment, the part about writing and using many details relates best to me. I would have to say that I tend to use tons of descriptive words when writing stories. I would say that i like to use as many details as possible simply because I write from a "movie scene" perspective. I love writing out the scene as it happens in my head in exact detail. From how high things are or wide, to what the characters are thinking. Although, I can see how using too much detail could get a little redundant and boring for a reader... which could very well be the case for me. But I just can't help it... you'll see so many descriptive words in my future papers (mostly if they are free writes) because I tend to write down what is pictured in my head. The reading also got me thinking about dialogue and how important it really is. Even if an entire scene has one sentence with about two words worth of content is better than nothing- and can sometimes be more effective. I think that dialogue enhances a story so much more just because it gives any paper a more human feel to it (which allows readers to connect with the tale). Again, those two chapters stuck out to me even though I do believe that chronological order or at least some form of order to a story can be pretty important; especially if you are writing to a diverse and large audience (it's easier to understand). Deadlines are also always the right thing to do, and as long as you aren't lazy or if you have the time, it's the best possible way to type a paper.
