From chapter three, my first hotspot was the entire description of angle of vision on page 50. From what I understand, it seems to concern how the writer sees a particular issue and what he or she chooses to put into their paper, though I am not entirely sure. It could also be the entire process of choosing what to include or omit from a paper and why the writer chooses do write what he or she did. I chose this section because I did not understand it fully.
My last hotspot concerns the second last paragraph on page 56 about the message, audience and writer or speaker and how “effective communicators consider all three points”. Most of the time we tend to consider the message and audience, but fail to consider the third: the writer. We need to consider how we will be viewed in the eyes as a reader, so that we can focus our message to best accommodate that vision. As the book says, this will also help to enhance our credibility as a writer, since we would have eliminated the likeliness of presenting conflicting viewpoints within our writing.

ReplyDeleteI also did the same hot spot for this, and I would like to add that I think it one thing the angle of vision does is it is a good way to emphasize points you support and de-emphasize points you do not support.
