Chapters 4 & 5 (Post #2)

There is so much information within these chapters that it's almost hard to grasp it all.
But I did enjoy the useful words that were written.
In Chapter 4, I really liked the story called "Struck By Lighting" by Gretel Enrlich and the visual imagery that was really interesting to read. I think those types of stories help me as a writer because it captures the attention of the audience and makes me want to do the same. Also the fluid word choices are spectacular and fun to read. The 4th chapter was overall very "descriptive." (<-- Ha ha.) I like what was said on pages 110 & 111 because of the differences in similes and metaphors that can sometimes get me confused. It was very useful information.

Chapter 5 seemed similar in some ways to Chapter 4, but it explained a lot about "expressing your feelings" and "relating your experiences." Combining patterns for a purpose was a good section that explained the cause-and-effect when telling a story. I think that way of writing can also capture an audience. What is useful about this chapter is the large amount of written stories that are examples.

Patterns For A Purpose is a well written English book that is very helpful for those who want to become a better writer.
