Most

Most of the techniques we learned are very helpful, but this one just doesn’t intrigue me, both as a reader and essay writer. I want to figure out if this is simply a matter of personal preference, or if Im not thinking about it correctly.This opposition came to me last class when we were discussing Rose’s essay on the passing of her grandmother. Almost unanimously, the entire class adviced Rose to show and not tell. Instead of telling the reader the various tones of emotion she is experiencing, she should instead use examples which will induce that feeling in the reader.
