Exercises in Style

Exercise in Style was extremely meaningful. The thing that I liked the most was how Raymond kept the same story line and applied it to each method. This really helped me see the change in the writing style and I was better able to understand what it was that he was doing. With the style titled Retrograde it was easy to see that Raymond told the story backwards. Another one of my favorite method was Litotes it was short and sweet. This method told the same story as the others only leaving out details and just giving the main point of the story. Double entry was the most enjoyable to read to me. The ideal of saying the same thing twice to me gave humor to the story. This actually made me laugh. Two hours after and a-hundred-and-twenty minutes later lol. I would like to use this method and write a piece of my own.

Matt Madden 99 Ways to Tell a Story is very similar to Raymond's writing. As Raymond did this just shows all the different ways to do the same thing.

The SignificantOdjects web site was very interesting as well. It relates to the readings in a way in which the buyer has to decide what the use of the object will be. I just didn't find an interest in any of the objects on the site.
