How Write with Style

Please click on the above title link, How to Write with Style


Kurt Vonnegut, the author, begins and ends his essay with a focus on ""having something to say". Why is this an important element for him or for the essay?

I think the most important idea here is having the guts to publish you writing. Good if you wrote it... Good, you thought it sums up your thoughts...Good you think you wrote it with all the passion...but... Would you dare to let the whole world read it and be prepared for the bad and good criticizing (hoping that is good).

I completely agree with you Gretchen, still I think that following the pattern that Vonnegut says makes it a lot easier. I mean, what he wrote its true! You do have to have something to say, and say what you mean and say it without rambling and sounding like yourself. I think that it just makes it better.

"Having something to say" is very important because is what you want the others to know about. Is the main idea, and it all depends on how you say what you want to say, the tone and the way you write. I agree with Gretchen and Normary...
