Ch. 4 220-236 Word use in writing

Chapter four was very helpfull outlining four elementary parts of speech. It showed how using nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs can really change your writing. I thought that the part in this section where they used different adjectives and adverbs in a example showed just how much you could change it. In the first example they described the office as a mess, but in the second version they described it as very orderly. Just by changing up some of the words they were able to completly change up the description of the office. This has helped me to understand that I need to be careful when choosing words to include in my paper. I also need to be careful when I do my interviews not to change what the person is telling me. I need to put my self in their shoes and view their subculture from their perspective.
