“Read, Read, Read.
Read everything...just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master.”× William Faulkner

Struggling with writing description?
Read a writer who is a master of description.

Check out this example of excellent descriptive writing:
“Spring had come early that year, with warm quick rains and sudden frothing of pink peach blossoms and dogwood dappling with white stars the dark river swamp and far-off hills...The whitewashed brick plantation house seemed an island set in a wild red sea, a sea of spiraling, curving, crescent billows petrified suddenly at the moment when the pink-tipped waves were breaking into surf.”
Margaret Mitchell in Gone with the Wind
![Page 36: 6 Reasons to Spend Your Summer Reading](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f23b9b1a28abd10c8b459d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Writing an Argument a challenge?
Find a well-argued essay or speech.
![Page 37: 6 Reasons to Spend Your Summer Reading](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052606/58f23b9b1a28abd10c8b459d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Check out this example of an argument:“We have waited for more than three hundred and forty years for our God-given and constitutional rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jet-like speed toward the goal of political independence, and we still creep at horse-and-buggy pace toward the gaining of a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. I guess it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say "wait." But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim... then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait.”
Martin Luther King Jr in Letter from Birmingham Jail
