please read the instructions and follow the questions below
This week, you read eight chapters from Zinsser’s book On Writing Well. Your discussion this week, I’d like you to apply some of the ideas discussed in the reading. After you’ve completed the reading, visit https://soslandjournal.wordpress.com/ to view either the current issue or a previous issue of the Sosland Journal (UMKC-published academic journal of Undergraduate student work). Pick an essay that is interesting to you and read it fully.
After you’ve read an essay from the Sosland, please evaluate it in the context of something you learned from this week’s reading. Is there a skill that this author does particularly well, especially in context of Zinsser’s advice? An aspect that they do well that actually contradicts a piece of Zinsser’s advice? An aspect that they do poorly? How might it be improved with Zinsser’s advice? What effect does the use/misuse of this writing skill have on the essay overall, if at all? Try to pull direct evidence from both the essay you’re reviewing and the Zinsser chapter you’re discussing.
here is Zinsser’s book on writing well links :
