The art of writing.

“Talent is a part of a writer’ success, but who you are as a human being, and what you believe in – those are just as important, perhaps more so.” Orson Scott Card

I love this way of looking at writing. It along with the things we are learning create a new way to look at any book you pick up and read. I wonder if this thought process could be added to the way we look at the texts we’re reading. In a way we already are. Alas onto more in depth analysis. This sentence like the rest of the blog is in verb style, he is very oriented towards the action side of language. He writes in a periodic way making sure you have to take in the entirety of his writing in order to obtain the meaning behind his sentences. This sentence is written in hypotaxis, where he clearly indicates which elements of writing he believes are more important.
