Chapter 4 220-236

The section of this reading I got the most from was "The Grammar of Observation".  It went in depth about using nouns and verbs in your notes.  For instance, take a typical word such as "look" and make it a story such as using gaze or peer instead.  By adding a strong verb.  It makes the observation so much more vivid.  You want your audience to have a mental picture while reading.
In my observations I began using more descriptive words.  Reading over one day it was so surprising what a difference was made just by using different words.  I can honestly say this section benefitted me greatly.
