First Impressions of "Introduction to Styleacademy":
- I don't like the narrator's voice.
- This was not meant for entertainment purposes.
Second Impressions:
- This is actually a pretty useful site.
- I might watch these even if I don't need to.
Something that I think is interesting, is individual style. You can't respectfully break the rules without first mastering them. Wolf, for instance, is obviously a literary genius but mastered simple sentences before she broke the rules and made super long run on sentences. Along the same lines, EE Cummings is able to break the rules of punctuation after he's mastered writing in a conventional manner. Just some food for thought. Not really related to the video though.
I really liked your comment towards the end: you can't break rules without first mastering them.
ReplyDeleteIt's a true statement. The more you know about writing conventions and style, the more freedom you give yourself to experiment, find your own personal style and break some rules!
