Martin Luther King Grammar

In King's Lesson Two and Lesson Three from his book “On Writing: A Memoir Of The Craft we see how King states that a writer needs a toolbox of the knowledge. In which King states that grammar is complex in which either a person is able to understand the grammar or a person is not able to understand the rules. A key problem with grammar is the fact that students can in many occasions be distracted throughout the school year and when children are out they are able to have a well study session. Therefore, when a student begins to this he or she will find out that they know more than then actually thought they knew. King also states that if a person is able to memorize songs and other unnecessary things memorizing this would be far more essential. …show more content…
In this section of Kings book “On Writing” I was able to see the perspectives in a much more professional view as he is an accomplished author of books and knows what students are bound to make mistakes on. For example, on the beginning he states “You'll also want grammar on the top shelf of your toolbox”. In which I instantly thought of a person who works in carpentry and utilizes many tools in order to fix something or create something new just as a writer. I found this quite interesting as Furthermore, King elaborates on “One either absorbs the grammatical principles of one's native language in conversation and in reading or one does not”. King states this in which he aims to say that people will either have full understanding of the rules or they don't. In which this doesn't mean that a person is not fluent with the language but rather has struggle managing their grammar overall . Therefore, the author states “Now that you're not worried that...textbook loonybin”. King believes that students will have a much more focus brain when children are out they will have all the time to work on their writing as it is an important foundation on a children's education. This to me is true because during the school year students are distracted with all of the other subjects and as well their personal problems.The author also stated “American grammar doesn't have the sturdiness of British grammar” in which there's the point in which we see the author is also applying what he is …show more content…
To begin with, each sentence is supposed to have a noun and a verb because if they would not have one or the other there would not a be structure and either you know your native language grammar or not. However I do not agree with this because even though a person knows their native language that does not mean he has to master it since each person has a different mindset and can have a learning disability. In which I can relate towards the “On writing” in which as a student who also knows Spanish just because I know Spanish it does not mean that I have mastered the language since even teachers have not even mastered it as they learn something new every day. Furthermore, a writer should be able to write in complete sentences because no one is going to take someone serious if they use simple sentences and not complete sentences such as utilizing plain simple sentences everywhere. It will not flow together over all as I learned Spanish and English writing incomplete sentences sounded well but as you progress with the language it does not sound as well as you thought. Moreover, the part in which I can relate the most with the third lesson is that a person needs to write bold and at the same time agree with what he has written. The active verb to me
