- The advantages of using the “entering a conversation” model in writing is that the writer’s message will have meaning, a point, and a “why?” Contrast this with conventional writing which is stating cold-hard facts with no sides, layers or forks to the thesis. Although some forms of writing consists of a counter-claim, this model states the counterclaim before the writer’s claim giving immeditate purpose to the argument.
- I agree that learning to look at art can help with analytical skills because they exercise our abilities to give attention to detail, detail that can be overlooked unless given intense curiousity. Finding whats present, and whats not present/unusually can tremendously help during complex situations life bestows upon us. Questioning inconsistencies can achieve an array of inferences which can further advance a case or a lead, or draw near a conclusion.
