About Mindful Writing
Mindful Writing is an interesting book about writing and rhetoric. There are many things in it that I have never thought of before. I especially like the fact that it is easy to read and believe it or not, entertaining. The author applies his own rules by sharing stories, using easy to read formats, humor, etc. When I read this book, I always find myself thinking about how I can apply what I have learned to my own writing. So far, the book has been a great help in determining what would help catch a reader's attention and hold it.
I have also recoginzed thigns in it from previous English classes. The ideas of ethos, pathos, and logos are not new to me, but the book expounds on them far more than any of my teacher has. It also gives great examples and is easy to remember. I can see this book being very helpful through out my college career. I would definitely recommend this book to every college student. It could be an indispensable companion.
