Writing An Argument Analysis

Abstract is one of the most important parts of the writing. I usually don’t read any book without reading the abstract at first. Also, the abstract part helps me a lot when I buy some books, I usually skim through the abstract and if I like the content, I will buy it. The writer here is talking about the abstract and how to write it, he started with an example of the abstract of this book “21 genres”. I am pretty sure he wrote this part after writing the whole book, because it’s a great abstract and describes the book in a perfect way. He also listed another example about abstracts, before listing some questions and starting to talk about the content. He talked about the purpose of writing an abstract, and how it gives the reader the opportunity to continue reading or not. After that he talked about the audience of abstracts and that they pretty the same audience of the long text. He also talked about the content and how it’s a very short version of the long text, focusing on the main points and the highlights. At the end of talking about the shape of abstracts, he talked about the length, arrangements and tone. He also talked about the pronouns and how it’s usually in the passive voice. Moving to another part, he listed some moves about how to maintain writing a successful abstract. He talked about how to discover by freewriting and looking through your headlines. He talked about how to develop and explain your code words. After that he talked about the gathering process and how to do that by skimming and reading. He also talked about integrating your ideas and your sources. Before the end of the chapter, he explained about the importance of focus, brainstorming and organizing your ideas. And finally, he talked about how to revise and present your abstract. Comment: It was a great chapter as normal, and I am really amazed how the writer always use the same template for talking about any type of genre, by starting by examples, then the content and after that talking about the moves. It’s really great how he manages to change the content from one chapter to another using the same template. I usually get bored when I read the same words in some book many times, but this is really interesting, I never got bored.
