Gustave Flaubert: Writing Analysis

Improved Essays
In writing, placing words in their perspective places make for effective sentences, that creates a verse writing. Gustave Flaubert, an influential French novelist, perspective was that the writer's craft was embodied in the quest for le seul mot juste, finding "the single right word." Once I properly learn how to pronounce this term, I will add this to my vocabulary more often. (David Skwire, pg 499)

While learning to create my own writings through the knowledge I am learning, in these most recent chapters are enlightening me on how important it is to be concrete, to the point without a lot of words that isn't relevant to the topic of my writing. Writing concretely utilizing connotative words versus denotative wording can keep my audience captivated, more so when my topic of discussion is sensitive, and at that point abstract wording may be more logical to use.

This can be a challenge for me, as I write. I must learn to be consciouses of where and how to place my words in their proper places to try to make my writings more active. Nevertheless, I will continue to improve as time progresses.

I have learned a new view of writing from David Skwire and that is that a writer should write economically by cease and desist. (David Skwire, pg 507) Giving the new "cease and desist" theory for writing I will be mindful to transition my writings with the "double stuffing" while being concrete, concise without being too wordy.

In conclusion, I will practice until I get writing correct with my, introduction, thesis, body and my conclusion with the transition that is solid, straight to the point in an active voice as well as

    Throughout the year, I have encountered challenges when writing scene analyses. At the beginning of the year, I frequently overlooked details or I failed to thoroughly analyze a passage. In my analysis of Scott Russell Sanders’s essay “Under the Influence,” I did not closely analyze the text and I repeatedly cited long quotes without any in-depth analysis. In my paragraphs analyzing this text, I mostly summarized the meaning of the text and I failed to demonstrate the importance of the lines that I cited. As the year progressed, I met with KP several times so that I would understand how I could improve my analyses.…

    Response to “The Transaction” by William Zinsser “The Transaction.” Upon reading its title, I would not have expected William Zinsser’s work to concern writing; monetary or some similar business exchange is what I had anticipated. However, the nature of an exchange is present, though, in the form of information: the exchanging of different ideas (“…he was interested in my answers…I was interested in his answers).” With this, textual evidence supports that Zinsser uses the context of a transaction in order to easily apply a comparison and contrast technique. Moreover, the technique itself provides a prime illustration of how variable writing can be, thus, proving to reflect one’s variable emotions.…

    During this summer session of ENGL101A, I have learned multiple ways to express myself through my writing.

    My writing experience: I didn’t start to read until I was in first grade. Every week we would go to library to check-out two books and take a test on the books we read on a computer. Every day in English we read a short story to ourselves then we would play games dealing with the story to make it fun. To be honest I never really did a lot of writing in Elementary , Middle, or High school so I can’t pinpoint when I started writing. In essay writing I learned its always good to express yourself with your own opinion.…

    Since our first attempt at writing an essay in elementary to middle school, we are told the main components to writing an essay is the ‘beginning’, ‘middle’, and ‘end.’ All of which holds true today, but as we move from one grade to the next, the standards for a ‘good’ essay changes for the better. Rhetorical strategies, devices, and appeals also known as rhetoric, is what we learn in high school (Stotsky 10). The continuation of the expanding knowledge is what makes us alter our writing strategies, from the material taught to us in our adolescent years of elementary school and every year thereafter. It is in high school that we are taught to analyze and dissect the author, as well as the author’s work ceaselessly.…

    In my analysis, I will focus on two different essays; Be Specific by Natalie Goldberg and Killing the Written Word by Snippets by Naomi S. Baron. The list of things that Goldberg uses in her writing has a purpose to show the reader the many names objects have, and to give the reader a better understanding why it is so important to call things by their real names. Baron argues that when students rely on sound bites instead of full articles and books in their research, they lose the ability to analyze. In “Be specific” Goldberg writes about how knowing the names of people and things are important. So, people are more aware of their surroundings and feel more connected to the people around them.…

    The human language is incomplete and we lack adequate words the express the incomparable richness of our inner thoughts. Flaubert perceives this idea when observing Emma Bovary proclaim the intensity of her love to Rodolphe stating, “Human speech is like a cracked tin kettle, on which we hammer out tunes to make bears dance when we long to move the stars.” (Flaubert 134) Flaubert compares human speech to that of a “cracked tin kettle”, implying that similar to how a cracked kettle would be unable to properly function, the human language is incapable of properly functioning as well. The deficiencies of the human language unables us to be able to clearly express our thoughts and emotions through words.…
