Homework 5

Lunsford Chapter 30 Page 682 Reflect Activity:

My mom has a very active voice yet reasonable tone when she speaks. I like her style

when she speaks because she comes off as someone confident, persuasive, and friendly. I think

the big contributor to her style is her tone. It is neither aggressive nor passive. Her style when she

writes is very formal which is like her speaking voice. Always confident in what she is saying.

I describe my own style as passive, formal, and reasonable. My style is made up of my

choice of words rather than its tone. The pieces of writing show a little bit of my style. It comes

as formal and by the book. It does somewhat align with my style. I believe my voice does come

through. The final essay I did in ENGL 1301 comes to mind because I sounded very confident.

Their formality is high. My tone was confident and persuasive. I would describe my writing style

as formal and confident.

Lunsford Chapter 31 Page 698 Reflect Activity:

“On Day 2, after completing the cardio exercise for the day, the pain around his ankles

and back were less severe and their knees felt sore.”

I think the word “but” would fit better in replacing the second “and” in the sentence. Making it

like this: On Day 2, after completing the cardio exercise for the day, the pain around his ankles

and back were less severe, but their knees felt sore.

Pag 712 Reflect Activity:

In my introduction to my essay, I found one sided sentences where it was not congruent

with the rest of the paragraph. I believe adding transition words will help connect the paragraph

more along with revising.
