What makes writing good? What makes writing effective? Is it some allocation of allusion and alliteration? Could it be millions of hyperboles? What if it is none of that?

Students can use these skills in writing papers for other classes, resumes, application, or even work emails. Practically everything a student write can be applied to what he or she has discovered by mastering good, effective
