"They Say, I Say" pg. 17- 47

After reading “They Say,” “Her Point Is,” and As He Himself Puts It,” I found the arguments they all made to be very reasonable and necessary ones. Starting with “They Say,” I found the most important part was when they talked about was clarifying what you’re talking about and identifying who said it. If this is not done you leave your readers or audience probably more confused than to begin with.
In “Her Point Is,” I found the quote, “even as writing an effective summary requires you to temporarily adopt the worldviews of others, it does not mean ignoring your own views altogether.” (pg. 31) I found this quote to be very true especially for me. I sometimes have a hard time knowing how to appropriately transition from summarizing about somebody else’s views to talking about my own. So in order to write good summaries I need to work on doing that.
Lastly after readying “As He Himself Puts It,” I really connected with the part when they were talking about introducing your quotes. This is something that really bothers me in writing. I always think it sounds odd to switch up my writing and have to introduce a quote. I would always do it in the most basic way I could but, I learned a lot of new ways to introduce quotes so the transitions isn’t awkward on page 43.
Over all I found this reading to be very helpful and informative!
