Book Review - Strunk and White Style Elements

Most of us don't like writing. Writing is a skill, not something you have born. Initially, I didn't like to write. I think this is very troublesome, and it is even hard to write my thoughts into it. Currently, I like writing. Writing has become an expression. This is the best way to organize ideas and convey meaning.

There are many books on writing and writing techniques, such as punctuation, spelling, and more. There are very few books about writing style and correct writing. A book is higher than all books. It has been around for a while. That book is the "style element" of William Strunk Jr. and EB White.

The author is also a writer. EB White wrote the classic children's book "Charlotte's Network." Their style and the main principles of proper use are usually accepted by anyone [educators, writers, teachers, etc.].

The book "Style Elements" should be one of the books that students and writers should have. As a student, you will learn the principles that will make your papers and papers effective [and at the same time get "A"]. As a writer, you will be able to purposefully organize and validate your writing process and your ideas. This is what you want to write.

English has its own code. The book's "style elements" will enable you to "break the code" in your writing. The code includes how to use punctuation, active tenses, combinations, expressions, and styles. The following topics are covered in this reference:

*Basic rules of use
from

  This includes how to use parentheses, commas, colons, dashes, etc. correctly. It also discusses the use of appropriate forms of possession, the correct use of pronouns, phrases, and so on.

*Basic principles of composition
from

  This includes choosing your writing design, paragraphs, active voices, positive-form statements, using certain [rather than useless words], loose sentences, maintaining relevant vocabulary, using tenses, and finally placing emphasis words.

*style approach
from

  This includes natural writing, writing, modifying, rewriting, using foreign languages ​​or excessive statements, and other major crimes, explicit, over-interpretation, etc.

* Several issues of form, words and expression are often abused.

This will benefit anyone who needs to write to a wider audience. If you don't want to write in a piecemeal or casual way, this book is not for you. Otherwise, you need the "style element" of this book as a reference for all your writing.
